Time to end tent cities says Wilkinson, while Horgan focuses on Healthcare

BC Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson took his campaign to Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows this morning with a pledge to bring highway and health care improvements to the region if a Liberal government is elected.

Wilkinson says his party would upgrade two major east-west routes, build a bridge to a northeastern section of the municipality and improve mental health services at Ridge Meadows hospital.

The cost for two of the three road projects is estimated at about $101 million shared between governments.

But Wilkinson is unsure of the cost for improved mental health services.

BC NDP Leader John Horgan voted this morning in an advance poll in his suburban Victoria riding to start the last Monday of the 28-day provincial election campaign.

Horgan then travelled to Saanich for an announcement about health care. He says not enough is present in BC Liberals and BC Greens platform about healthcare.
