Skeena-Bulkley MP in support of Stewart-Hyder integrated trans-border community

STEWART–Skeena-Bulkley Valley M.P., Taylor Bachrach, along with NDP Public Safety critic Jack Harris St. John’s East M.P., wrote to the Public Safety Minister expressing their support for the proposal to make Stewart-Hyder an integrated trans-border community.

Hyder is only accessible to the public by road through Stewart, on the Canadian side of the border. Hyder residents rely on access to Stewart for services such as groceries, gas and access to schools and medical assistance.

“In many ways, Stewart-Hyder is one community divided by an international border.”–Taylor Bachrach, M.P., Skeena-Bulkley Valley

“Locals deserve a common-sense solution that allows their community to function, while also protecting public health and national security. I want to make sure that the government listens to what residents are asking for and help make the community whole again,” said Bachrach.
