The provincial government is putting up 24-million dollars to help communities expand their walking and cycling infrastructure.
The money will fund 80 projects across the province.
Dan Coulter, the minister of state for infrastructure and transit, said the projects will give people more affordable and convenient ways to explore their communities.
There are several projects in the Nechako Valley area set to receive funding including:
- Vanderhoof – Victoria Street Sidewalk, extension of sidewalk connecting Burrard Avenue to Church Avenue
- Fort St. James partnering with Nak’azdli Whut’en – Fort St. James & Nak’azdli Whut’en Active Transportation Plan will create a network strategy for people to go between the town and reservation
