As people in B.C. prepare to celebrate the Labour Day long weekend before students return to school, people are encouraged to plan ahead, stay safe and be prepared for seasonal risks.
The Province is funding local community projects throughout B.C. to improve planning for evacuation routes and public notifications to keep people safe and informed when emergencies occur.
The Province urges people on the south coast to use caution over the next several days, particularly in the backcountry, as moderate to heavy rain is forecast to start the afternoon of Friday, Aug. 15, 2025.
As the B.C. Day long weekend approaches, people are encouraged to stay informed about wildfire conditions, be prepared and plan travel.
More people in B.C. will be better protected from natural and climate-driven hazards as the Province invests more than $6 million for 11 community projects.
