No cash so far from Ottawa to upgrade the TransCanada from Cache Creek to the Alberta Border. Revelstoke Mayor Mark Mckee is 
Chair of a group of civic and regional politicians that's spearheading the effort to convince senior levels of government about the necessity of improvements on this dangerous stretch of Highway One. With Victoria on board, he met with Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon late last summer in Ottawa and coming out of that meeting said he was more hopeful than ever about federal government support and expected to hear for certain by the end of 2006. Mckee says so far, not a word. He adds he's working with Okanagan Shuswap MP Colin Mayes who indicates he's still hopeful his government will come through. The group has the Provinces commitment of 125-million dollars a year over 10-years for the project, on the basis of matching funds from Ottawa.
