The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is planning a series of controlled burns near Chimney Lake and Felker Lake between March 16 and April 31, 2016, weather conditions permitting.

Given the current dry conditions, the Cariboo Fire Centre is encouraging the public to exercise caution with any outdoor burning activities over the weekend and into the coming weeks.

The Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail is one step closer to completion in B.C.’s Cariboo region, with the opening of a new bridge over Moffat Creek near Horsefly.

One hundred and fifty years ago, it was the Gold Rush that had people from around the globe descending upon Barkerville. Now it’s a rush of a different kind, as visitors flock to Barkerville Historic Town and Park to learn about the Cariboo Chilcotin’s golden days.

As the snow falls and the holidays quickly approach, many Cariboo Chilcotin Coast residents are eager to get into the spirit and to make special memories with family and friends by enjoying what this region has to offer. One of its most famous citizens, Williams Lake Paralympic athlete, Rick Hansen remembers special times growing up here.

After thorough public consultation, the Province has approved Mount Polley Mining Corporation’s application for a short-term permit to treat and then discharge water outside of the mine site.

It’s time to enjoy what travellers from around the world came to the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast for this summer: B.C.’s incredible tourism experiences.
