The British Columbia government has approved a $1.5-billion expansion plan it says will turn a small ski resort near Agassiz into an all-season recreational area.
The province says it will collaborate with the Berezan Group and the local Sts’ailes Band to develop the Hemlock Resort into a tourist destination in the Fraser Valley.
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations says plans include increasing the recreational area to about 6,000 hectares from 350 hectares.
