Quesnel is one of the communities listed as receiving free service on Election Day, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House will not be included.
“This in partnership with our local government partners, so we reach out to our local government partners in advance and ask if it’s something they would like to partner with us on,” Humphries explains, “In this case, the communities listed are the communities that we did hear back from that will be offering the free transit on Election Day.”
