Radio channels expand on British Columbia resource roads
Industry Canada announced 40 new radio channels to improve communications for truckers, sportsmen, and residents on BC’s vast network of resource roads. The move aims to reduce washouts and accidents caused by poor signaling, amid increasing resource industry activity and a patchwork of existing channels.

New radio channels to guide forest road traffic safety
Gordon Todd of West Fraser Mills notes the new resource road radio channels will improve safe use of industrial forest roads. Drivers on Chetwynd forest service roads must call out kilometres to aid coordination on mainly one way routes as pilots and standard signage roll out. Industry Canada says 95 existing users will shift to 40 new channels once replacement channels address needs.
