COMMUNITY INFORMATION (May 2026):
Beginning May 25, 2026, the FVRD will be removing the temporary flood protection Hesco barriers in the Sheldon Road and Osbourne Road neighbourhoods. Due to the information gathered regarding a lower-than-average snowpack, there is a high level of confidence that freshet risk is low this spring.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the FVRD Engineering and Utilities department at 604-702-5000 or by email at info@fvrd.ca
