The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) will be holding a public meeting to present three recent reports on Cold Spring Creek, Fairmont Creek, and the Fairmont Hot Springs Hazard Guidance Project.

“We encourage all Fairmont Hot Springs residents to attend the upcoming meeting,” said Electoral Area F Director Susan Clovechok.

“It’s important for residents to understand that these reports are being shared as a first step in what will be a lengthy process with opportunities for public engagement along the way. Following the meeting, the reports will be presented to the board.”

The session will be held via Zoom on November 18, starting at 7 p.m. For anyone unable to attend, the session will be recorded and posted on the project page.

The presentations will provide information on the Cold Spring Creek Residual Hazard Map, the Fairmont Creek Updated Hazard and Risk Assessment, and the Fairmont Hazard Guidance Project. All three reports were prepared for the RDEK by qualified professionals.

Those wishing to review the reports prior to the meeting may do so from October 31 at engage.rdek.bc.ca/debris.

Residents are encouraged to read the reports prior to the meeting and submit questions through the project page. A question-and-answer period will be held at the meeting, via facilitated Q&A submissions for attendees.
