Community Notice – Postponement of Bridge Lake Music Days

Dear Community Members,
The Bridge Lake Citizens' Foundation regrets to announce the postponement of Bridge Lake Music Days, which was scheduled to take place September 4–6.

This decision was not made ightly. Due to the current wildfire situation affecting our region, including multiple active fires, evacuation alerts, and evacuation orders, we believe our priority must be the well-being of our community and those impacted by these events.

At this time, many individuals and families are focused on protecting their homes, supporting loved ones, and beginning the difficult process of recovery and rebuilding. In light of the ongoing uncertainty, we feel it is neither appropriate nor practical to proceed with a community celebration.

The Bridge Lake Citizens' Foundation remains committed to supporting our community during this challenging time. Rather than focusing our efforts on hosting an event, we believe our resources are best directed toward assisting those affected by the wildfires.

We are pleased to advise that Bridge Lake Music Days will be rescheduled, with June 2027 currently being considered. Additional information, including confirmed dates and event details, will be shared with the community as plans develop.

In the meantime, we stand united with our friends, neighbours, and all those affected by the fires. We extend our heartfelt wishes for everyone's safety, strength, and recovery.

If you or someone you know requires
assistance, please reach out to the Bridge Lake Citizens' Foundation. While we may not be able to meet every need, we will do our very best to connect with you, provide support, and help access available community resources.

Together, our community has always shown resilience, compassion, and strength. We have no doubt that we will get through this challenging time together.

Sincerely,

Bridge Lake Citizens' Foundation

We are responding to multiple lightning caused wildfires throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre. Of these wildfires, three have been called Out, two are classified as Under Control and the remainder are Out of Control.

Five of the Out of Control fires are burning in the 100 Mile House Zone and two in the Chilcotin Zone are producing smoke that is highly visible to surrounding communities.

Fiftynine Creek Wildfire (C40897) is located approximately 54 kilometres southwest of 100 Mile House and approximately 4,000 hectares in size. This wildfire triggered an evacuation alert earlier in the day that is now an evacuation order as issued by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD). Big Bar and Meadow Lake roads are closed for public safety.

The Bowers Lake Wildfires (C40923) and C40930 are located approximately 48 kilometres east of 100 Mile and are approximately 120 hectares in size combined. These wildfires triggered an evacuation alert earlier in the day that is now an evacuation order as issued by the Cariboo Regional District (CRD).

The Tin Cup Wildfire (C40925) is located approximately 35 kilometres south of 100 Mile House and is approximately one hectare in size. This wildfire triggered an evacuation alert as issued by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD).

Wildfires C50927 and Lessard Lake Wildfire (C50929) are located approximately 60 kilometres north of Anahim Lake and are approximately 100 hectares in size combined. This wildfire triggered an evacuation alert as issued by the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) and Ulkatcho First Nation.

We ask that everyone in B.C. familiarize themselves with trusted sources of wildfire information and pay attention to local updates and alerts. Individuals in the vicinity of existing wildfires are encouraged to stay alert and aware of the current wildfire situation as wildfires are dynamic and conditions may change rapidly.

Early detection and public reporting is crucial when responding to new wildfire starts. To report signs of a wildfire, please call 1-800-663-5555 (toll-free), *5555 on a cellphone or submit a report directly through the BC Wildfire Service mobile app.

From the app, you can add georeferenced photos, allowing us to see exactly what you see on the ground and better inform resource deployment decisions.

For additional details and updates on these incidents, please visit the B.C. Wildfire Dashboard here: https://wildfiresituation.nrs.gov.bc.ca/dashboard

Another big step completed!

The tree stumps are out, the ground is leveled, and we're one step closer to having our new mobile office in place.

A huge thank you to Greg Anderson (Heather's husband from the Bridge Lake General Store) for bringing in the machine and doing the heavy lifting, and to our President, Stewart Littlejohn, for pitching in. The trailer is loaded up and headed to the dump.

It's amazing what can be accomplished when volunteers come together. Thank you to everyone helping turn this vision into reality!
