A tentative deal has been reached that could soon end the transit strike in Comox Valley and Campbell River.

PWTransit issued a statement yesterday saying they have reached an agreement with the Unifor 114 bargaining committee for Comox Valley and Campbell River transit systems.

The statement said the date for ratification is still to be determined.

If all goes well, it says details on when the public can expect Transit Services to resume will be announced next week.

The 75 workers walked off the job on December 15th - they have been without a contract since March.

PWT is contracted by BC Transit to provide services in Campbell River and Comox Valley.
