Work scope in Kamloops remains fluid
Amongst changes to public access to nature parks, we remain in contact with the City of Kamloops and the Kamloops Fire Chief about our work scope within Kenna Cartwright Park. Our crews are continuing to work in the park to complete upgrades and protect infrastructure that is at risk from elevated fire danger in the area. We are maintaining strict mitigation measures such as fire watch, security and fire protection equipment on site which we have made available to the City of Kamloops in the event of a fire in the area. During periods of park closures, we conduct only essential work. Please see our August 10, 2023 update below for more details about essential work and mitigation measures.

Work scope expands following re-opening of parks
The City of Kamloops re-opened nature parks today. The resulting restrictions that only permitted FortisBC to conduct essential work in Kenna Cartwright Park have been lifted.
As our project’s full work scope resumes, FortisBC will continue to implement fire mitigating measures at our work sites and adjust our work to follow requirements of the BC Wildfire Service, City of Kamloops and the Kamloops Fire Chief.
