Beginning in approximately late October, crews will be conducting controlled blasts along our new right of way just northeast of Valleycliffe.

FortisBC has been conducting blasting activities in the nearby area for several months now.The blasts will occur between the hours of 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday. The pipeline route and trails in the area will remain closed at all times, including Sundays, to maintain public safety. We ask that the public please avoid entering restricted areas during this period.We appreciate your continued patience as we safely complete this work. We will continue working with residents and recreational user groups to notify them of nearby activities as construction progresses.If you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like more information about the project, please contact the FortisBC team at [email protected] or 1-855-380-5784.
