TNRD issues second evacuation order for Brookmere in two weeks
KAMLOOPS — The Thompson-Nicola Regional District issued an evacuation order for the community of Brookmere Tuesday (Nov. 30) afternoon.
B.C. government staff noticed significant log jam approximately two kilometres upstream is the reason. Due to upcoming heavy rainfall and the potential for increased water levels, the TNRD states it has concern that the log jam could be dislodged and carried downstream to cause damage in the community.

- 872 to 933 Brookmere Station Rd.
