Sicamous is looking into establishing a bus service between the district and other larger cities.

Mayor and council sent a letter to Pacific Western Transportation in support of a transport bus service being implemented in the area following a community survey asking residents if they felt the resource was needed and wanted.

The company needed survey data to prove there is demand for a bus route.

The survey closed Aug. 14.
