ANGLEMONT, B.C. — A trailer and transport truck carrying physical goods for North Shuswap residents caught behind evacuation lines was able to make its delivery.

After collecting donated physical goods in Kamloops on Wednesday (Aug. 23), organizer Abbey Bereti says they reached their destination at the Lakeview Community Centre in Anglemont Friday afternoon.

“Our permit was for delivery to the Anglemont community on Wednesday,” Bereit told CFJC Today. “Despite having a permit to access Anglemont via the Squilax-Anglemont [Road], our driver was turned away at the checkpoint. We ended up having to take the load back to Kamloops until we could figure out a plan B. Through trucks, forklifts, barges and vehicles, the donations were delivered successfully.”

The delivery came as the community of Anglemont was placed under evacuation alert by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) Friday afternoon due to the nearby Bush Creek East wildfire.
