Temporary Access Pass requests are currently suspended as per the direction from the Ministry of Transportation and Transit. The decision reflects current public safety concerns and operational requirements associated with travel along Highway 1. The Ministry of Transportation and Transit makes decisions about highways closures, access, and is coordinating these decisions with the FVRD and BC Wildfire Service during the Brunswick Complex Wildfire. Once conditions allow future consideration of issuance of Temporary Access Passes will resume. Temporary Access Passes are discretionary and are assessed individually based on prevailing conditions. You are welcome to submit a request for a Temporary Access Pass however, it will be held until the approval process is started again.
- The Boston Bar and North Bend water systems will continue to run intermittently while we maintain prioritized water access to the BC Wildfire Service. During the time when water is available throughout the communities, the Boil Water Notice and watering restrictions remain in effect. Water MUST BE BOILED for 2 minutes prior to use. The Stage 4 Water Conservation Measures are also in effect when water service is restored. Read our Press Release regarding Vandalism to the Boston Bar Water System
