Drive with caution on our #BCHwys today! Heavy rainfall creates more than a normal volume of water on the roadways. Slow down & give yourself extra stopping distance.
Crew are monitoring & clearing watercourse concerns 24/7.

Goldstream is a vital spawning ground for #salmon and home to countless other species. If the Malahat highway expansion is approved, their critical habitat will be destroyed.

Every fall, #BCHwy conditions start to experience a chilling transition, which usually lasts until at least Feb. To combat the higher risks of driving through snow, ice, & freezing temps, we encourage travellers to prepare & #ShiftIntoWinter.

Malahat Drive, a scenic mountain pass, replaced a 19th century narrow wagon trail from #Goldstream to #CowichanValley. Nov can bring winter driving conditions on the Malahat, #BePrepared & #ShiftIntoWinter before the snow falls!

Colder Nov late night weather trends means Emcon dispatches its brine tanker units out. Pretreating roads & bridges eliminates frost & ice concerns. Risk management & assessment are key to ensure driver safety when operating a #LiveLoad.

Malahat conducts skillset profiency training on new live load operators as part of our #ShiftIntoWinter training program. Ensuring safe operating procedures are followed is critical for crew safety on the road. Give space to live load & plow trucks on our #BCHwys. #yyjtraffic
