Smoke having major impact on tourism in Cache Creek
CACHE CREEK, B.C. — The incredible amount of smoke settling in on the Thompson region is having a great impact on the community of Cache Creek.
However, it’s not only health impacts but also effects on local business, many of which aren’t seeing many tourists.
Anie Campbell doesn’t know what to make and how much of it at her bakery in Cache Creek, not knowing who’s going to show up from hour to hour.
“There’s no traffic,” she said. “We’re down about half, about half of the business, especially because this is our big season every year come July to August, and now it went down to half.”
