Anne Kang, Parliamentary Secretary for Multiculturalism, has issued the following statement in honour of B.C. Multiculturalism Week, Nov. 17-23, 2019:

Morning begins with the clattering, whirring sounds of tools and mechanical equipment ringing out across the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) campus on the edge of the Okanagan valley.

The BC Wildfire Service plans to burn 11 piles of woody debris northwest of Summerland to help rehabilitate the site of the Finlay Creek wildfire and reduce wildfire risks in the area.

Staff from the BC Wildfire Service and the Williams Lake Community Forest are planning to burn piles of woody debris west of Williams Lake to help reduce wildfire risks and enhance wildlife habitat in the area.

The lane closures that were originally scheduled to occur this weekend are cancelled due to the forecast extreme weather event.

Piles of woody debris will be burned in the 70 Mile House and 100 Mile House areas this fall and winter to help reduce wildfire risks in the region.
