The worst drought conditions are currently across Alberta and northeastern British Columbia and we do not expect any significant relief through the summer

Michel Creek, Coal Creek, Lizard Creek, Sand Creek, Kikomun Creek and Morrissey Creek and their tributaries will be closed

Please have a safe drive home following this especially wonderful holiday season.
