A 25-kilometre stretch of Highway 95 has better cell service thanks to provincial funds.
911 services are now available between Nicolson and Harrogate regardless of your cellular provider.
“The number 1 reason government is investing in highway cellular connectivity projects is to increase public safety,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of Citizens’ Services.
“We are committed to expanding access to cellular service, and that includes rural and remote areas, because everyone deserves to feel safe on B.C. highways.”
The B.C. government invested $773,000 into this connectivity project with Rogers Communications also chipping in over $509,000.
