As they repair damage along #BCHwy8, MOTI teams are taking care to protect fish and reptiles in work areas, including temporary dams for fish recovery and surveys of bats & reptiles before blasting work to minimize the disruption to wildlife #BCHwy8 @Shackanband

Significant progress has been made to repair Curnow Bridge on Hwy 8. MOTI will begin work at Rattlesnake Bridge soon and hope to have emergency and construction access in late December, with work continuing into early January. For the latest information, @DriveBC @Shackanband

Thank you to Chief Arnold Lampreau and the Shackan Indian Band members I met with today who generously shared their time and their stories of evacuation from the recent flooding event. I hear you & I commit ongoing support for recovery efforts.
Five people, including Minister Rankin, stand inside and look at something to the left, beyond the photo. A full shoe rack covers the length of the wall behind them, and two high-visibility safety vests and a hard hat hang on the wall.

As part of their work to repair and safely re-open Highway 8, the Ministry have recovered and relocated over 100 fish that were trapped as a result of the November flooding events. Thank you for your patience as they work sensitively in these impacted areas. #BCHwy8 #BCFlood

The @TranBC Highway 8 team is working closely with @bchydro to restore power. @bchydro has restored power to residents between Merritt and @Shackan, on the north side. Visit @DriveBC for the latest road closures. #BCHwy8 #shackan
