The Village of Valemount and the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George have rescinded the evacuation alert in the area of the Swift Creek landslide.
The alert was first issued on July 31 for roughly 40 properties on the northeast side of Main Street in Valemount, beginning at Williams Road. The slide threatened the village’s water supply from Swift Creek, and monitoring of water levels in the creek is ongoing.
Trail closures in the area have been lifted, but the district reminded residents to use caution when in the backcountry.
