Government Transit Advocacy Letter
The Okanagan College Students’ Union represents nearly 5000 students across the Okanagan Valley. On behalf of the students we represent, we are writing to express our strong support for the BC Federation of Labour’s Connecting BC Transit campaign and to urge the provincial government to implement its proposed plan to significantly expand and strengthen public transit across British Columbia.
