The 21 residents evacuated from Mountain View Lodge long-term care home and three patients from the Lillooet Hospital and Health Centre in Lillooet on Thursday, Aug. 1 are heading home today.
Interior Health (IH) relocated clients on Aug. 1 as a precautionary measure related to flood risks created by the landslide into the Chilcotin River southwest of Williams Lake on Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
IH would like to thank Lillooet and receiving community staff and partners who supported the safe relocation and return of these individuals. We also want to recognize the ongoing efforts of all the regional districts in the Interior region for their efforts to keep individuals and communities safe.
Anyone wishing to confirm their loved one’s current location can call 1-833-469-9800. Call centre operating hours are Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
IH continues to support the emergency response in our region, and our heartfelt thanks go out to our care partners, first responders, community volunteers, and local and provincial governments across the region.
