The Regional Connectivity Strategy has moved from consultation into implementation. Key milestones have been completed, and committee structures have been streamlined so connectivity items proceed directly to the PRRD Regional Board.

Future updates, decisions and project materials will be published through PRRD Board agendas and the PRRD website at prrd.bc.ca/our-government/plans-reports-and-studies/regional-connectivity-strategy-rcs/.
