A high streamflow advisory continues for the Fraser River. The Rotary Trail remains closed at this time. As we continue to monitor the situation, should we need to escalate safety measures further, full or partial road closures in areas such as Wardle and 7th may occur. We remind residents to remain clear of river banks and fast moving water and be prepared, and adhere to, any closures.

As the Fraser River continues to rise, the District has closed the Rotary Trail until further notice. The decision to close the trail was made out of an abundance of caution and in the interest of public safety.
Residents are reminded that while we experience the annual freshet on the Fraser River that high water levels and velocities are expected in the coming days and weeks. The District of Hope in conjunction with Emergency Management BC and BC River Forecast Centre continue to monitor the situation. We ask that residents remain clear of river banks and fast moving water and be prepared, and adhere to, trail and road closures.
