Minister of Infrastructure and Communities pays Kamloops a visit

KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian has deemed his recent visit with federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities Amarjeet Sohi a success.

Sohi was in Kamloops last Thursday as part of a B.C. tour of mid-sized communities.

“We had an opportunity with council to tour the bus garage and look at the new CNG (compressed natural gas) buses. The federal government has contributed over $7 million to modernizing our fleet and he wanted to see how we had spent his money,” he told CFJC Today. “And he also has been contributing to some of the Next Stop MCCTV equipment that we now have on our buses.”

Christian believes the minister was “quite satisfied” with what he saw.
