@NichJohansen Hi Nich,
We received an update this morning that the closure has been moved from the 10th to the 11th. The DriveBC event has been updated.
English

@DriveBC Can you confirm that the next 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. closure of Hwy 97 north of Summerland will be on March 11, as it says in your latest update, and not March 10, as was announced Friday?
English

@DriveBC Has Highway 33 been reopened this morning? I'm a little unclear from the latest update on the DriveBC site.
English

@NichJohansen We've heard about it and have sent a crew to see what's going on. Do you have any information?

@DriveBC Any information about a mudslide on Westside Road, south of the La Casa development?

After serving 14.5 months of his five-year sentence, Robert Saunders has been granted day parole.
He stole close to $500,000 from vulnerable, Indigenous youth in his care over a 6.5-year period, and the Parole Board still doesn't believe he's remorseful. castanet.net/news/Kelowna/4…

New evacuation orders have been issued in the backcountry west of Peachland, due to a rapidly growing fire that was just discovered Saturday evening. It's displaying Rank 5 fire behaviour, which is very aggressive. Wildfire season is not over.
