Funding is coming from the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Program — part of almost $74 million being invested into communities across B.C. to help cover costs of policing, new equipment, increased community safety initiatives, infrastructure and other priorities.
“The city will appreciate the flexibility associated with unconditional funding,” Abbotsford-Mission MLA Simon Gibson said.
