100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — Interior Health (IH) has announced a series of closures of the emergency department in 100 Mile House that will total 89 hours over the coming week.

The 100 Mile District General Hospital emergency room will be closed on the following occasions:

  • Thursday, July 16 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (13 hours)
  • Friday, July 17 from 7:00 a.m. to Saturday, July 18 at 8:00 a.m. (25 hours)
  • Saturday, July 18 from 7:00 p.m. to Sunday, July 19 at 8:00 p.m. (25 hours)

  • Tuesday, July 21 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (13 hours)

In a news release, IH encourages those in need of emergency medical care to visit Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake during times when the 100 Mile House ER is closed. More urgent situations warrant a call to 9-1-1.

“Interior Health recognizes that these changes may have a significant impact on the community and that transparent notification is important,” said the release. “Our teams remain committed to working to cover these shifts right up to the day of each potential service interruption. If coverage is secured and an interruption is avoided, we will provide an update to the community.”

This series brings the total number of closures at the 100 Mile emergency department to 30 so far in 2026.

Other inpatient services will continue as usual at the hospital.
