Telus representatives recently provided the Cariboo Regional District board with an update on cellular phone service within the Cariboo Chilcotin.

In the presentation by Bert Braybook and Brian Mason, the area directors and staff in attendance received an overview on a total investment of $4.5 million in cellular service upgrades over the past year in the Cariboo.

The coming months will see more improvements to include boosted cellular coverage in 150 Mile House, 100 Mile House and the Lac La Hache corridor.

Then in 2014, more new sites for wireless areas will be addressed, including the 108 Mile Ranch and McLeese Lake areas, as well as increased capacity and fibre optics in other areas in the region along Highway 97.
