The BC Road Builders’ RoadShow is making its way to the Williams Lake region next week, bringing with it a unique opportunity to explore careers in highway maintenance and road construction.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to operate a plow truck or heavy equipment, now’s your chance to find out—no experience required! Designed to introduce participants to the real-world skills used on the job, the RoadShow offers an exciting, hands-on look at the industry through state-of-the-art simulators.

Each simulation runs for approximately 10–15 minutes, giving participants a realistic preview of the responsibilities and skillsets needed in these essential roles.
