ER Closure

Lillooet ER to be closed for nine hours Sunday night

May 11, 2025 | 8:36 PM

LILLOOET, B.C. — Lillooet and area residents will be without emergency room coverage for the second consecutive night this weekend.

Interior Health says the ER at the Lillooet Hospital and Health Centre will be closed for nine hours, starting at 11:00 p.m. Sunday (May 11). It is scheduled to reopen at 8:00 a.m. Monday.

People are once again being told to head to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops if they need emergency care during this closure.

This is the sixth ER closure in Lillooet this month, and 26th of the year. The ER was closed for 13 hours Saturday night.

As has been the case during past emergency room closures in Lillooet and elsewhere, Interior Health said people should call 9-1-1 if they need emergency care, or HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 if they aren’t sure if they need to head to the emergency room.
