Access restrictions and safety concerns remain unchanged

The BC Wildfire Service's decision to rescind its Area Restriction Order reflects a change in BC Wildfire Service activity. Access restrictions and safety concerns remain unchanged.

While wildfire suppression activities have decreased, significant hazards remain within the affected area and recovery work is ongoing. As the incident transitions from wildfire response to community recovery, the RDOS continues to manage access through a Prohibit Entry Order for designated properties in Faulder, South Meadow Valley, and Callan Road.

Access remains limited to authorized property owners and approved individuals displaying a valid Access Permit, and Princeton-Summerland Road remains closed to through traffic except for residents, permit holders, and authorized crews supporting recovery efforts.

Kobau Park improvements to begin September 8

The RDOS will begin improvement projects at Kobau Park on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, to enhance recreation amenities and support park infrastructure. The park is located within the RDOS in Electoral Area "B" (Cawston).

Planned improvements include the expansion of the existing concrete multi-use court, installation of new perimeter fencing around the court, and replacement of the park’s water pumphouse. The timeline for this work to be completed is by late November 2026.
