Highway Maintenance Operations Information Session – Feb 26/2020

by Garry Jackman, RDCK Area A Regional Director

As is the case during most winters, I have received a number of questions about how to voice concerns (or express appreciation) for the winter road maintenance from various residents. 

In the past YRB and highways reps have been willing to provide an opportunity to answer questions and provide some general information about their maintenance operations plus how best to call in your concerns. 

Most recently meetings were held in Riondel and Boswell. After a series of attempts to coordinate a date we have landed on Wednesday (February 26) from 2:20 pm to 3:30 pm at the Crawford Bay Hall as an opportunity to hear an update on changes to the new maintenance contract (as of June 2019) and ask some questions. Please share this information and attend if you can.
