Oct 11, 2025 | 7:01 AM

100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — Residents in the 100 Mile House area will be without emergency coverage for the majority of the first day of the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Interior Health says the ER at the 100 Mile District General Hospital will be closed for 13 hours between 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday (Oct. 11).

“All other inpatient services will continue at 100 Mile District General Hospital,” Interior Health said in a statement.

People in need of emergency care are being told to head to Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake during that time. The Williams Lake ER underwent a similar shutdown on Saturday and Sunday of last weekend.

This is the 20th emergency room closure in 100 Mile House this year, and the second this month.
