uitable local economy and community,” said Jeremy Valeriote, interim leader of the BC Greens and MLA for West Vancouver–Sea to Sky. “More service hours and improvements to key routes mean better access to convenient, reliable, affordable transportation, and less road congestion. I’m pleased that this expansion will continue to improve public transit options for Whistler.” The additional service will begin on April 22, 2025, with year-round improvements on several routes, including 21 Spring Creek, 31 Alpine and 32 Emerald.

Investing in the local transit system ensures that people in Whistler and its surrounding communities have continued access to the services they rely on. The additional 6,000 hours will help to reduce seasonal fluctuations in service levels previously experienced by transit riders in the region.

“People use public transit when it is reliable and affordable, when it can get them around their community to their work, school or to connect with friends and family,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Transportation and Transit. “This service expansion will keep transit services accessible and convenient for people who need them, when and where they need them.” To support convenient and reliable transit service for people in Whistler and surrounding communities, BC Transit and the Province are partnering with the local government to expand services in the region with an additional 6,000 annual service hours.

This builds on the work done in communities The Province has committed approximately throughout B.C. to provide improved transit $184 million in operating funding to BC services and connect communities.

Transit in 2025-26 to protect existing transit “Expanding transit service in Whistler is an services and allow for targeted expansions important step toward a more connected, eq- that will benefit more people throughout B.C.

Be cautious about what you bring to an end or the way in which you go about winding something up, especially if you think it will open up more choices. The situation will have to be revisited mid April next year.

Other things would have changed by then.

It might be wiser to let things take their own course right now.

Something that started off as a small thing when it comes to helping out somebody else that seems to keep on growing would be best dealt with now, especially if it is turning into a habit or interfering with your regular routines. It has probably taught you to take more notice of what is important to you, rather than getting distracted..

Something is winding up on a personal level perhaps in ways you were not expecting that is generating thought of all sorts of possibilities in the long term. Someone can play a powerful role here. However it is to eventually settle will not become evident until January to April next year. Meanwhile just go with the flow.

You can have success in getting something out of the way that has been on your mind for a while but the energy just hasn’t been there.

Not that you will feel overly energised just yet. It is more a realisation that time is running out. You know you will feel a lot better once this is done, especially if others have a good view of it.

There can be a willingness to let something go that has been a personal priority but doesn’t fit well with someone else. It will be more important to establish underlying stability in situations involving others. This can be temporary as other opportunities to focus on your wishes will arise next year from January to April. Patience can pay off.

Something needs to be put into place once and for all so that you know what needs to be spent rather than other things coming up all the time. Whatever you do now can create changes that may not be fully implemented until next year, between January and April.

You need to be straightforward and practical with any discussions.

The New Moon this week occurs in your sign providing you with the opportunity to generate changed directions on a personal level. Anything that has not been heading in the direction you had hoped might be better let go right now. Becoming more practical can appeal to you, especially when it comes to stability with finances.

There can be new directions building up in the background that will provide the opportunity to put a stable foundation in place. This is likely tied into the decisions of somebody else and something may need to wind up so they can take the next step.

There could be more than one stage of development attached to this as well.

Changes in somebody else’s life may make you realise things are moving on and it will not be the same for you. This is encouraging you to think about what is important to you. It can actually be freeing you up to do so. This is a first stage.

New people can come into your life, especially from January to April next year.

New directions involving other people can be smooth running if things are done their way. While there might be a lot in common, their determination might clash with yours. If you have been attempting to come to an agreement, this might need to be left for now and revisited mid April as things will likely have changed by then.

It might be time to develop a new attitude when it comes to commitments or obligations in your life, especially if they affect your finances. If you have accepted things without thinking, you could recognise this has to stop. This can only happen when you take the time to analyse what you can realistically manage and follow through.

New possibilities in the long term can begin to feel more probable or realistic. This could leave behind a level of personal doubt or insecurity.

This can be tied to you becoming more aware of what has been important for a long time but needs to be modified in some way for the future. The second stage can occur January to April next year.

In Loving Memory of Bachan Kaur Alamwala With sadness and love, we announce the passing of Bachan Kaur Alamwala, affectionately known as Manji, on April 27, 2025, at the age of 96. Bachan Kaur was born in a small village near Moga, Punjab, India to her late parents Bhagat Singh and Asso Kaur. A woman of remarkable strength, compassion, and resilience, she married Sarwan Singh Alamwala in 1948. In 1960, she immigrated to Canada with her young children to join Sarwan in Lake Cowichan, British Columbia. The family later settled in Abbotsford, where Bachan and Sarwan worked side by side to build a thriving ten-acre farm. Through hard work, dedication, and a shared vision, they laid the foundation for their growing family business. Bachan Kaur balanced the demands of home and work with unwavering commitment. While raising four children, she instilled in them a legacy of hard work, generosity, love, and deep faith. Manji was not only the cornerstone of her family but also a pioneer in the South Asian community. Known for her sharp wit, steadfast spirit, and tireless work ethic, she opened her heart and home to family, neighbors, and newcomers alike, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew her. To those who were fortunate enough to know her, Manji was more than just a mother or grandmother—she was home. A steady presence in a world that moved too fast, she had a way of making everyone feel safe, simply by being there. Her mere presence brought comfort and security, and her strength anchored us through life’s storms. Her dry, often sarcastic humor and boundless love illuminated every room. Manji held her family together with grace, resilience, and an undeniable spark. At the heart of everything she did was her family. She is survived by her children Surinder (Davinder Brar) and Jag (Sandra Alamwala) and was predeceased by her husband, Sarwan, and sons Jessie (Jasvir Alamwala) and Jerry (Pummy Alamwala). Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren stand as a testament to her legacy of love, strength, and hope that will live on for generations to come. Though we mourn the loss of our beloved Manji, we celebrate a life so beautifully lived—a life that uplifted everyone around her, and a spirit that will never be forgotten.
