As the flood hazard continues to decline, the City of Enderby Emergency Operations Centre is standing down from its Level 1 activation. The event will continue to be monitored, but this will be the final regular situation report related to this event, unless the event deteriorates significantly.
The public is advised that the river remains unseasonably high and fast, with debris flows and other unpredictable hazards. Please use caution when on or near to it. Please check the Shuswap River Ambassadors page for up-to-date information on the river’s status and risks.
Closures remain in effect for Kildonan Boat Launch and Tuey Park, but these locations are expected to reopen in the near future. Please respect all barricades and signs that are in place.
