Winlaw cell tower not a priority, Telus says

Telus says it has no immediate plans to revisit building a cell tower in Winlaw.

It was part of an agreement with the BC government to provide wireless service along highways.

But company spokeswoman Liz Sauve says it’s been on the backburner since 2013.

Sauve says they continually revise their plans based in part on demand.

There is no cell coverage on Highway 6 between Crescent Valley and Slocan.
