Water Advisory - Hope Slough
The City has posted advisory signs at the Hope Slough Blueway access locations due to a suspected spill upstream between Old Yale Road and McGrath Road.
Staff are in communication with the Provincial and Federal agencies who are the lead agencies for spill investigation and enforcement; as well as Cheam and Skwah First Nations who discovered the issue while working at a habitat restoration site at the slough.
Water samples have been taken and the City is recommending people avoid contact with the water as a precaution while the results are pending.
