The federal and provincial governments are working together in support of seven infrastructure projects.

A joint investment of more than 5.5-million-dollars will support work in Williams Lake, Prince George, Prince Rupert and Merritt.

The projects involve improvements to the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex in Williams Lake as well as ventilation in four schools and a social housing complex in the northern region.

In Merritt, the funding will go towards the completion of about 1.5 kilometres of a multi-use asphalt pathway used by students.
