The Evacuation Alerts issued on July 8, July 9, and July 10, 2017, pursuant to City of Williams Lake Emergency Measures Bylaw No. 1961, 2005, are therefore rescinded for the following locations:

  • All properties and businesses situated within the City of Williams Lake municipal boundaries (see attached map).

All City parks and trails except Kiwanis Park and Boitanio Park are closed to the general public until further notice.

The Red Cross continues to provide services at its Boitanio Mall location from 9 am – 5 pm, Monday to Saturday (hours are subject to change).
