NDP leader John Horgan is expected to make an announcement this morning at one of Vancouver’s SkyTrain stations.
Details have not been released but Horgan said in Victoria on Thursday that building transit attracts more housing development, which is much needed for both Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.
