Cherry Creek resident fears property will flood if weakened slope gives way
KAMLOOPS — A Cherry Creek resident has growing concerns about a sloughing slope above the creek that runs beside her property.
Corine LeBourdais says the issue began after after repair work was done to the highway beside her property following flooding in 2017 and 2018. She says the work forced the creek to take a new direction, and it is now eroding the bank.
“The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, that we’ve been dealing with, doesn’t seem to think that there is a responsibility there,” She explained. “It’s just the responsibility of the home owners to fix the problem that wasn’t created by them.”
