Drivers are advised that work will soon begin to replace the temporary structure on Beaton Road with a permanent bridge, improving safety and reliability for people travelling through the area.

Permanent bridges are now open, and reinforcing armour is in place, on two roads in the Cherry Creek area that were washed out by spring flooding.

The B.C. government has created the Above and Beyond Awards program to recognize people who made a big difference in their communities during 2017’s devastating floods and wildfires, Premier John Horgan announced today.

As areas in the central and southeast regions of the province are experiencing  recent flooding events, homeowners need to be vigilant with their safety, first and foremost.
