The RDEK’s Fairmont Hot Springs Hazard Guidance Project is aimed at:

• Developing and considering policies that can further guide development and land use in the identified hazard areas within Fairmont Hot Springs; and,

• Increasing community awareness and understanding of the debris flow and debris flood hazard and risks associated with Cold Spring Creek and Fairmont Creek.

The project is 100% grant funded through a Union of BC Municipalities Grant and will not have any impact on taxes oustide of staff time). It is being led by consultants from BGC Engineering and Pinna Sustainability with support from the RDEK Planning team.

To help introduce the project and gather input from the community, the RDEK hosted an introductory Zoom Meeting. Thank you to all who participated.

For those unable to make it a recording of the meeting can be found below.
