PRINCE GEORGE—Effective at 12:00 pm (noon) on Thursday, July 28, 2022, Category 2 and Category 3 open burning will be prohibited through the Prince George Fire Centre’s (PGFC) jurisdiction.
The current forecast for the PGFC’s jurisdiction area is calling for elevated temperatures through the weekend and into next week, causing increased fire danger. This prohibition is being enacted to help reduce wildfire risk and protect public safety.
This prohibition will remain in effect until 12:00 pm (noon) on October 15, 2022, or until the order is rescinded.
More information about open burning is available online. Also prohibited are the activities listed below:
Fireworks;

This prohibition order does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide (or smaller) and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. A poster outlining campfire regulations is available online.
Prohibitions apply to all public and private lands unless otherwise specified (e.g., in an enactment or local government bylaw). Check with local government authorities for restrictions before lighting any fire.
Anyone found in contravention of an open-burning prohibition may be issued a violation ticket for $1,150, may be required to pay an administrative penalty of up to $10,000 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail.

NEWS RELEASE
January 5, 2022
Village of McBride completes independent, third-party Organizational Review
One of Council’s top 2021-2023 Strategic Priorities and Initiatives for the Village of McBride was completed in December, which was to conduct a full Organizational Structure Review.
Council accepted a staff recommendation to proceed with an independent, third-party review to provide impartial observations and recommendations for future implementation.
Innova Strategy Group (ISG), based in North Vancouver, was selected due to its wealth of experience conducting over 50 similar reviews across BC. Kevin Ramsay, ISG Principal, has conducted 42 core service reviews, which have resulted in an approximate savings of $24 million. Kevin was joined by Ron Roole, a senior consultant of ISG, who has been a municipal CAO in BC since 1999.
The report was received by Council in December with a resolution for staff to bring back implementation options in the new year.
Some of the key recommendations included:
The report can be accessed on the Village of McBride’s website under “Reports – Adminstrative Reports” or by clicking here: https://www.mcbride.ca/uploads/1478/Village_of_McBride_Organizational_Review_2021.pdf.

Asset Management Program Implementation Project
Request for Quotes - 1.2021
Project Description:
The Village of McBride Asset Management Assessment and Asset Management Plan identifies key next steps for improving asset management capacity in the municipality. These two recommended short-term actions encompass the Asset Management Program Implementation Project which will move the Village of McBride from Level 1 or 2 to Level 2 or 3 in many of the Asset Management Readiness Scale focus areas.
Project activities:
Project activities include:
a) Compiling base asset information
b) Creating a dynamic (updatable upon new asset information) component-based 35-year capital replacement plan (using an excel-based system) for the following critical assets: water system; drainage; roads; and community buildings
Development of maintenance tracking system by asset component that includes tasks and schedules to extend lives of assets for the following critical assets: water system; wastewater system; drainage; roads; and community buildings using an excel-based system.
Collection and consolidation of fixed asset data into a 35-year capital replacement plan will allow the Village to begin implementing it’s Asset Management Policy (AD - 18 Asset Management Policy), while also linking asset management data to long-term financial planning.
Deliverables:
1. a) Compile base asset information
The organizing of base data the Village currently holds is a critical next step in the Village of McBride Asset Management Plan and will serve as the base to compile asset value, condition and capital planning information to support capital replacement plan.
b) Develop 35-Year Capital Replacement Plan (using an Excel-based system)
2. Development of Maintenance Tracking System
The maintenance tracking system component of the project will see the development of a comprehensive maintenance tracking tool that will act as a schedule to clearly communicate inspection, operations, maintenance, reporting and data collection tasks and who should be responsible for these duties. This schedule will increase asset management capacity at the Village by improving Public Works Department operations and maintenance practices. The schedule will help to extend the lives of certain assets and help to identify problems before they require emergency repair or replacement. The schedule will also allow the Public Works Department to see which assets require the most maintenance and identify staffing gap. The training component of this task will allow the Village to mitigate the risk of looking for information only held by a few staff.
Project Team:
The Project will be co-led by the Chief Financial Officer and Public Works Operations Manager, with support from the Chief Administrative Officer. These three senior managers have over 20 years of asset management experience between them. The Project includes staff engagement with the Public Works Department: Foreman, Lead Hand and 2 other crew members. As water and sewer operators, Public Works staff hold historical data as well as current operational expertise for water and wastewater operations, inspection, maintenance, and improvements, as well as intimate knowledge of facilities and infrastructure. Public Works employees hold important and historical information regarding Village assets that will be captured and recorded in all Project activities. The consultants will work with administrative staff to capture historical asset data and conduct training.
RFQ Details:
Quotes must be received at the Village office no later than 4:00pm, Wednesday, November 17, 2021. Email to cao@mcbride.ca, or mail/drop off at office: Village of McBride, 100 Robson Centre, 855 SW Frontage Rd., PO Box 519, McBride BC V0J2E0.

Recycling just got more convenient in the heart of McBride. Starting today, locals can drop off their unsorted and bagged empty refundable beverage containers at Northern B.C.’s first Return-It Express & GO recycling station, located at 600 NW Frontage Road. More information can be found here.
The cashless, contactless, and solar-powered recycling station is housed in a 20-foot repurposed shipping container and is one of the ways Return-It is addressing accessibility, and innovating recycling in B.C.
“Bringing convenient solutions that encourage recycling is what we do at Return-It, and we are committed to working with communities to address their specific needs,” said Allen Langdon, President and CEO of Return-It. “We are pleased to be bringing McBride residents a new recycling option, and we want to thank the Village of McBride for all their support.”
This new Express & GO recycling station is a direct response to the unique needs of the residents of McBride, who previously transported their empty beverage containers one-to-two hours, to depots in Valemount or Prince George, for a deposit refund.
“We want to thank Return-It for working with us to increase our community’s access to recycling solutions,” said Gene Runtz, Mayor of McBride. “This new recycling station has a positive environmental impact as it encourages residents of our village to keep recyclable materials out of landfills – without having to travel to a neighbouring town to responsibly recycle their beverage container for a deposit refund.”
Through the Express system, users will receive their deposit refunds through their free online account which can be redeemed by Interac e-transfer or cheque. Residents also have the option of donating their refunds directly to a local charity or community group.
“The installation of the new Express & GO recycling station directly supports the Village of McBride’s first Strategic Priority, which is to strive towards long term economic resiliency and sustainability; as well as bolstering community vibrancy and well-being’,” said Chris Tupy, Chief Administrative Officer of the Village of McBride. “We are pleased to partner with Return-It, who understands these priorities. Another benefit is that through the Express system, residents also have the option and ability to support our local community by donating their deposit refunds to a local charity."
Now expanded to seven Express & GO locations across B.C., this convenient model supports a growing need for contactless, innovative recycling infrastructure in a wide range of communities – from large urban centres where commercial space is at a premium, to less accessible, rural locations where traditional depot facilities may be less viable.

ROBSON VALLEY—Effective at noon (Pacific time) on Friday, July 30, 2021, campfires will be prohibited throughout the Robson Valley Fire Zone.
The prohibition will remain in effect until noon on October 15, 2021, or until the order is rescinded.
Multiple factors are taken into consideration when assessing wildfire hazards and deciding whether to implement an open fire prohibition, including: current and forecasted weather conditions; the availability of firefighting resources; and the Buildup Index (BUI).
The BUI rating is an estimate of the total amount of fuel available for combustion on the landscape. It takes into account the fuel’s moisture content, since that can affect fire intensity.
Campfire prohibitions are implemented based on the particular region’s BUI values. The Buildup Index allows the province’s six fire centres to follow a consistent and scientific process for evaluating the need for campfire prohibitions.
Though conditions in the majority of the Prince George Fire Centre have met the criteria to rescind the campfire ban due to recent rainfall and cooler temperatures, the Robson Valley Fire Zone has remained warm and dry. As a result of this weather pattern, the BUI threshold for a campfire ban in the Robson Valley Fire Zone has been met.
Camping is a long-standing tradition in this province. The B.C. government recognizes that people also enjoy having campfires, so it takes any decision to implement a campfire ban very seriously.
Wildfire prevention is a shared responsibility. Human-caused wildfires are completely preventable and divert critical resources away from lightning-caused wildfires.
A campfire is defined as any fire smaller than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide. In addition to campfires, Category 2, and Category 3 open fires, the following activities are also prohibited:
The use of fireworks
The use of sky lanterns
The use of burn barrels or burn cages of any size or description
The use of binary exploding targets
The use of tiki and similar kinds of torches
The use of chimineas
The use of outdoor stoves or other portable campfire apparatus without a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or Underwriter Laboratories of Canada (ULC) rating
The use of air curtain burners
For a map of the Robson Valley Fire Zone boundaries, please visit: http://ow.ly/GEYk30rPviD
A poster explaining the different categories of open burning and applicable regulations is available online: www.gov.bc.ca/openfireregs.
To report a wildfire or an open burning violation, call *5555 on a cell phone or 1-800-663-5555 toll-free. For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, visit: http://www.bcwildfire.ca.

Flood Warning – Upper Fraser River (UPGRADED)
Issued: 1:00PM June 29, 2021
The River Forecast Centre is upgrading to a Flood Warning for the Upper Fraser River including:
Upper Fraser River including the Robson Valley and areas from Sinclair Mills upstream to Torpy, Dome Creek, Dore River, McBride and surrounding tributaries
Temperatures have been trending upward over the past five days in the headwaters of the Upper Fraser. The average maximum temperature at four of the high elevation automated snow weather stations have been increasing as follows; June 24: 14.2°C, June 25: 20.3°C, June 26: 26.3°C, June 27: 29.4°C, June 28: 31.5°C.
The average elevation at these stations is 1,725 metres above sea level. The extremely hot temperatures have triggered an astounding amount of snowmelt at the higher elevations of the Upper Fraser River. The stations that still have remaining snowpack are melting at 80-100mm of snow water equivalent per day. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) forecasts two more extremely hot days before slightly cooling on Thursday and Friday in the region.
The current forecast at McBride has the following maximum temperatures, Tuesday: 41°C, Wednesday: 38°C, Thursday: 31°C, Friday: 31°C. There is a forecast weather pattern shift towards potentially wetter conditions. The current forecast is 30% chance of showers for Wednesday and Thursday. The Upper Fraser is extremely vulnerable if a moderate to heavy rain event occurs in the upcoming 5-days.
The status of rivers in the region at 12:00PDT on June 29th:
FRASER RIVER AT RED PASS (08KA007) is flowing at 334 m3/s (between 10-year and 20 year flow) and is forecast to continue rising for at least another day.
FRASER RIVER AT MCBRIDE (08KA005) is flowing at 1230 m3/s (20-year return period) and forecast to continue rising for at least another day.
DORE RIVER NEAR MCBRIDE (08KA001) reached 141 m3/s (between 10-year and 20-year flow) on Monday evening and is expected to have higher evening peaks over the upcoming days. The highest peak will likely occur on the hottest day. Last year’s flood event occurred with a peak flow of 171 m3/s on June 23, 2020.
MCKALE RIVER NEAR 940M CONTOUR (08KA009) reached approximately 90 m3/s (5-year flow) on Monday evening. The past three days have seen similar daily peaks suggesting that snow is a limiting factor and it’s unlikely for flows to go higher than 90 m3/s on snowmelt alone.
MORKILL RIVER BELOW HELLROARING CREEK (08KA013) reached approximately 312 m3/s (2-year flow) on Monday evening. The past four days have seen similar daily peaks suggesting that snow is a limiting factor and it’s unlikely for flows to go higher than approximately 320 m3/s on snowmelt alone.
Details of the CLEVER Model forecasts for this region can be found at: http://bcrfc.env.gov.bc.ca/freshet/map_clever.html
The public is advised to stay clear of the fast-flowing rivers and potentially unstable riverbanks during the high-streamflow period.
The River Forecast Centre continues to monitor the conditions and will provide updates as conditions warrant.

COVID-19 Province-wide Restrictions have been extended to January 8, 2021:
Corporation of the Village of McBride
November 26, 2020
The Council of the Village of McBride would like to take this opportunity to clarify the roles of Council and the Bylaw Information Officer. The Village does not provide enforcement services – enforcement is the sole responsibility of the RCMP. Council views the role of the Village and Bylaw Information Officer as providing assistance to businesses and individuals to comply with the current directives issued by Dr. Henry.
Mr. Kelly Mortenson has been appointed as the Bylaw Information Officer and is available to assist businesses and individuals in keeping abreast of health orders and directives, and work with the community to find solutions for any issues and support of compliance measures.
We are confident that members of our community will continue to support our local businesses while alleviating stress for those who might be vulnerable to the effects of Covid-19 and will choose to follow Dr. Henry’s directives, regardless of their personal beliefs concerning the measures in place. Every person has a right to their own opinions, however Council is confident that kindness and consideration for all the community will be a deciding factor in complying with the current directives.
Business have not yet recovered from the shut down of this past Spring and need their patrons to co-operate with the processes put into place to avoid the need for further restrictions. Every person who enters a business is required to “mask-up”. If someone is unable to wear a mask for health or personal reasons there are various resources available to assist in the delivery of products from the local businesses – please just call the business to make alternate arrangements.
Council has also discussed whether we should remain open to visitors to our community. Currently the Provincial directives strongly recommend no unnecessary travel outside of your community. There is no official restriction that prevents travel, but the hope is that common sense will prevail. If visitors are advised of the Provincial directives and they follow those directives, there is no legal reason why visitors can not come to our community. Each business will be responsible for their own risk assessment to determine whether they will accept visitors to their business. McBride is famous for being a welcoming community. Council encourages the community to be respectful to any visitors that we see, and we are confident that they will be respectful in return.

UPDATE - COVID-19 community outbreak on Haida Gwaii
Ongoing contact tracing and testing for COVID-19 on Haida Gwaii has identified six additional lab-confirmed cases related to a community outbreak declared on July 24th. Northern Health public health staff are currently following up on a total of 20 cases; 13 are considered active, while seven individuals have recovered, at this time.
The additional cases do not represent a significant expansion of the outbreak, nor do they suggest wider spread of COVID-19 in Haida Gwaii communities. While contact tracing work continues, it is believed the new cases are also epidemiologically linked to the original outbreak cases.
The recently-identified Haida Gwaii cases are from exposures that took place prior to last week’s outbreak declaration. It would not be unexpected to identify additional cases in coming days, where exposure also occurred within the same COVID-19 incubation period.
All of the active cases continue to self-isolate at home, and none have required hospital care, to date. Northern Health and the First Nations Health Authority continue to work with Council of the Haida Nation and municipal governments on Haida Gwaii, to coordinate the community response to the outbreak. This includes ensuring individuals who may need to self-isolate outside their home community, or nearer to a higher level of care, have the support they need.
Close contacts of any confirmed cases will be informed by public health officials, and supported in actions they should take, such as self-monitoring or self-isolating. It’s very important that anyone experiencing potential COVID-19 symptoms self-isolate, and contact their primary care provider or the NH COVID-19 Online Clinic & Info Line (1-844-645-7811).
To help bend the curve on Haida Gwaii and stop the spread of COVID-19, we encourage community members to:

Ended: High Streamflow Advisory – Upper Fraser and mainstream of Middle Fraser
Updated: 11:40 July 24, 2020
The River Forecast Centre is Ending the High Streamflow Advisory for:
The Upper Fraser River including tributaries above Hansard
The mainstream of Middle Fraser River to Lytton
The rivers have responded to the thunderstorms yesterday and this morning and the river levels have risen slightly. According to the latest hydrological modeling, the river levels are expected to rise slightly but below the 2-year return period levels this weekend. With the forecast seasonably hot and dry weather pattern beginning Saturday, the river levels are expected to drop further next week.
The River Forecast Centre continues to monitor the conditions and provides updates as conditions warrant.
BC River Forecast Centre
Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
A High Streamflow Advisory means that river levels are rising or expected to rise rapidly, but that no major flooding is expected. Minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
A Flood Watch means that river levels are rising and will approach or may exceed bankfull. Flooding of areas adjacent to affected rivers may occur.
A Flood Warning means that river levels have exceeded bankfull or will exceed bankfull imminently, and that flooding of areas adjacent to the rivers affected will result.
Northern Health has downgraded the DO NOT CONSUME Notice to a BOIL WATER Notice effective immediately and until further notice.

A pulse of water from a moderate rainfall event that occurred over the Upper Fraser and Cariboo regions Wednesday to Friday is slowly moving through rivers within the Upper Fraser region. Rainfall totals from Wednesday to Friday morning range from 10 to over 60 mm, the highest occurring at the Hedrick Lake (1A14P) automated snow weather station. Smaller rivers and tributaries within the region peaked late yesterday (July 17th) in response to this event and are now falling. Specifically, the McKale River near 940m Contour (08KA009) peaked near 82 m3/s (near a 5 year flow) late July 16th, and the Morkill River below Hellroaring Creek (08KA013) peaked at 270 m3/s (below a 2-year flow) late July 16th. The McGregor River peaked at 1450 m3/s (close to a 5 year flow) today and is just beginning to fall as of Friday afternoon (July 17th).
The Quesnel River is flowing at 1020 m3/s (10-year flow) and is expected to remain high during the following days due to the current rainfall. Water from rain this week is moving down the Fraser mainstem, driving currently increasing flows at Fraser at Prince George and higher flows forecasted for downstream Fraser sites. Peaks on the mainstem Fraser due to this event are expected to remain below 5-year flows at this time. The Fraser River near Marguerite is flowing at 4420 m3/s (between 1-year and 2-year flow), and is forecast to rise over the weekend. The San Jose River is flowing at 18.2 m3/s (between a 20-year and 50-year flow).
Dry conditions expected for the weekend should help mitigate high flows; however, unsettled weather forecast for the following week could be problematic within systems that are already high.
Current conditions include:
The public is advised to stay clear of the fast-flowing rivers and potentially unstable riverbanks during the high-streamflow period.
The River Forecast Centre continues to monitor the conditions and provides updates as conditions warrant.

A moderate rainfall event is occurring over the Upper Fraser and Cariboo regions. As of Thursday morning, rainfall totals over the past 24-hours range from 5 to 35mm – the highest occurring at Hedrick Lake (1A14P) automated snow weather station. Since rivers have remained high due to heavy rain over the past three weeks, some tributaries of the Fraser River are rising rapidly from this rainfall event. The Dore River near McBride is flowing at 109 m3/s (between a 2-year and 5-year flow) and rising. The McKale River near 940m Contour (08KA009) is at flowing at 73 m3/s (between a 2-year and 5-year flow) and rising. The Morkill River below Hellroaring Creek (08KA013) is flowing at 240 m3/s (between 1-year and 2-year flow) and rising. The McGregor River is flowing at 982 m3/s (between 1-year and 2-year) and rising rapidly. Increases are expected in the Fraser River over the upcoming days due to the rainfall.
The Quesnel River remains very high and is flowing at 985 m3/s (10-year flow) and may rise again over the following days due to the current rainfall. The Fraser River near Marguerite is flowing at 4360 m3/s (between 1-year and 2-year flow). The San Jose River is flowing at 18.4 m3/s (between 20-year and 50-year flow).
Fortunately, dry conditions are expected for the weekend. The following week may continue the recent trend of unsettled summer weather.
The public is advised to stay clear of the fast-flowing rivers and potentially unstable riverbanks during the high-streamflow period.
