The B-C government is urging travelers planning a getaway this B-C Day long weekend to use extra caution as heat warnings cover much of the province and the wildfire risk is high to extreme in many areas.
Campfires are allowed in the Northwest Fire Centre, on Haida Gwaii and in some parts of the Prince George Fire Centre — but they are banned everywhere else.
Vacationers should also check for road closures, evacuation orders or alerts and wildfire-related park closures before they head into the back country.
The province is also encouraging people to review HealthLink B-C tips for staying cool — including drinking lots of water or planning outdoor activities before 10 a-m or after 4 p-m — when the sun’s U-V rays are not as intense.
