The Cariboo Regional District has confirmed that evacuated residents are now being sent to Williams Lake.
Stephanie Masun is the CRD Manager of Emergency Programs.
“What that means is that in the area of 100 Mile House there may not be any more rental units. A secondary site had opened up in Williams Lake that’s located at the volunteer fire department on Hodson Road, as a secondary site for people tom come for assistance with lodging.”
Masun says some people are going elsewhere.
“Sometimes with ESS people register but they have plans to go elsewhere. They have friends and family that they’d rather go stay with than commercial lodging. There are more sites in Williams Lake though than 100 Mile House, but I don’t know the number of rooms because it changes daily.”
