A final report into the Missing Women’s Commission of Inquiry was released on Thursday.
Hoping to see plans for a shuttle service along highway 16, Carrier Sekani Chief Terry Teegee says he was disappointed in the lack of transportation attention.
Teegee calls the report a demonstration of patchwork, with no dedicated funding, and says they need to push the issue further:
“Even a feasibility study on a shuttle service would be a good start, so I think you know, we are going to have to pressure them to do something and have a look at the whole corridor along highway 16”
Conversely, the Transportation Ministry says the distance between these communities means that a one size fits all approach will not work, and while the government is providing $1.5 million for BC Transit to partner with some communities for local bus service, there are still holes where adequate service is not provided.
