Some wildfire evacuees tired of having to re-register every three days
KAMLOOPS — Frustration is growing in Kamloops where wildfire evacuees, who had already registered at evacuation centres, are finding they have to re-register every three days. .
While evacuees in the Southern Interior and Cariboo have been out for nearly a week, some are being forced to come back to Thompson Rivers University every three days to re-register for provincial assistance for food and accomodations.
Line ups have been starting before 7 a.m. most days with some people at the evacuation centre having to re-register multiple times since leaving their homes.
“Oh it’s been about three, four times now,” said Cache Creek resident Fred Brigman. “It’s real frustrating. I’m worrying about my home.”
