Based upon recommendation from the BC Wildfire Service, the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) at the Emergency Operations Centre has issued an Evacuation ORDER for the east side of Sugar Lake, especially for the seasonal recreation properties within Sugar Lake Resort located at 1630 Sugar Lake Road due to the Sitkum Creek wildfire (#K41109), previously on alert.
Members of the RCMP will be expediting the Evacuation Order. Evacuees will not have access to their properties while the Order is in place; therefore, bring your pets and important items with you. See Evacuation Order area map attached (red polygon).
Because of the immediate danger to life safety, the Evacuation ORDER includes the following areas:
All lands east of Sugar Lake, from the southern end to the northern tip, and from the east shore to a line north south-through Initiative Peak. This region includes all sites within Sugar Lake Resort at 1630 Sugar Lake Road
IF YOU ARE IN THIS AREA, YOU MUST LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY.
