British Columbia (BC) Crisis Management Minister Bowin Maa announced on August 24 that West Kelowna, which was the only restricted area, will also lift travel restrictions.
Cancellation is from 00:00 on the 25th. With this, all travel restrictions that have been issued since August 19 have been lifted.
“We deeply appreciate the cooperation and understanding of those who have cancelled their travel plans to the central and southern parts of the state over the past few days, as well as the tourism industry,” Ma said in a statement. He thanked travellers and the tourism industry for making it possible to secure accommodation for evacuees and firefighters.
The statement urged those planning to travel to BC, including areas where restrictions have been lifted, to check local information and act as circumstances differ from community to community. We are affected and are facing difficulties.
