VICTORIA Vancouver Island residents and travellers will soon be able to connect to local cellular service along a large stretch of Highway 14 between Sooke and Port Renfrew. The B.C. government announced Wednesday it would pay Rogers Communications up to $4.9 million from its Connecting British Columbia program to build cellular infrastructure along a 70-kilometre stretch of the highway. Current cellular connectivity between Sooke and Port Renfrew is a broken patchwork of intermittent local service and connections to U.S. cellular providers, for which residents have incurred international roaming charges despite not leaving the country. Whether you are lucky enough to live in Otter Point or are heading out to explore the Juan de Fuca Trail, a cellular signal provides peace of mind knowing that you can stay in touch and call for help if it s needed, said Premier John Horgan in a statement Wednesday.
