Hello Pemberton,

It seems our run of nice weather has come to an end. We will get some rain overnight and into tomorrow afternoon. We will then get a break until Saturday afternoon when the heaviest rain will fall (it is also when freezing levels are going to the highest - see graphs below). The rain tomorrow will likely fall as snow in the alpine, which is good and bad depending on your perspective. There is currently only 17 cm of snow at the Tenquille gauge, but it is snowing right now.

The River Forecast Center has put out some high stream flow advisory's, but they are more focused to the west of us. The models for Pemberton are not tuned yet as we have had no flows in which to do so. Right now they are forecasting high flows but not flood flows and they have massive error bounds in them. Tomorrows models which come out at 11 am will tell a better story.

We are watching a few things. Forecasted freezing levels, how much snow accumulates between now and Saturday as well as the train of storm heading our way (see map below courtesy of windy.com). The disruption of the Polar air mass is pushing storm tracks at us for the foreseeable future.

We currently do not have a clear enough picture to really make any concrete forecasts. Right now it looks like we may see some decent river levels over the weekend, with highest levels on Sunday. The forecast flow rates are not worrying yet.

However, if the storm track shifts south and we get more snow than expected over the next 24 - 36 hours this may change quickly.

We will update tomorrow after the new weather models and river forecasts come out.

It is that time of year when having a plan and a grab and go bag is important. Also signing up for SLRD and VOP alerts is the best way to get emergency alerts.

Have a good rest of your day.

Good day,

This is a reminder that your 2026 diking taxes are due December 31. To avoid penalties please make sure you are paid before this date. Reminder if your paying online that it takes a few days for the transaction to clear so don't wait until the 31st!

It has been a quiet fall so far. We have been busy in the field finishing projects and are just now settling into fall mode. We will give a project update and fall outlook in the coming days.

Good morning,

The work on Pemberton Creek d**e is now completed. There is a new culvert and flood gates installed in preparation for the fall rains.

Thanks to CATA, ROE Environmental and Highmark Survey for their great work on this project.

The d**e is now open for use.

If you are using this d**e please use caution as there is a black bear with cubs and two young grizzly bears in this area.

Have a good day

Happy Thursday

Not sure how many people were out and about today and noticed the color of the Lillooet River. The river at this time of year is typically transitioning back to more clear water. However the water this morning was very turbid. Turns out there must have been a landslide on the West side of the Meager Massif. You can see in the picture below that Meager Creek is running very dark at the point where it meets the Lillooet River. There was no major spike in flows and we are monitoring as usual.

Hello again,

From August 31 to September 9, there will be no access along Pemberton Creek D**e from behind the lodge to Airport road. We have posted signs to inform users that do not have social media.

The PVDD is replacing a culvert that goes through the d**e during the "fisheries window" for this area. The culvert is being replaced due to corrosion and for the installation of upgraded flood gates.

There will be trucks and heavy equipment operating in this area so please stay away. Fencing will be installed to keep people out. The more you leave this area clear the faster you will have the path back.

Thanks for understanding.

Happy Tuesday Pemberton,

There will be two posts back to back to make sure to read both.

The Arn Canal clean out project is now completed. CATA construction is finishing up over the next few days. We re topped the running surface of the paths and connected it right to the Poplar street bridge.

There is some re vegetation work that will happen in the fall once the weather becomes favorable.

Thanks to everyone for the patience during this project.

****Arn Canal Update****

The work on the Canal is progressing on schedule. We are through the most difficult part, but now we are at the part where we are constantly having to remove material by truck to keep the process going. It will be the end of next week before we are done, then we will have clean up to do.

There have been some questions as to why we are doing this and the answer is that this section of the Canal was overgrown enough that the water flows from heavy rains were not moving through the canal fast enough and causing issues in some locations. Once we see how this work effects the Canal during the fall rain events, we look to further make improvements where we can. We have limited options in this section of the Canal as the total elevation drop from the CN Tracks to the Lodge is only 1 meter over 1.7 kilometers.

So far, we have found 9 bikes, 6 shopping carts and probably 10 road signs.

Thanks to CATA Construction and ROE environmental for the great work so far. We did isolate an area that has an active bird nest and we will have to come back in mid September to finish up a 20 meter section. This is a difficult job and we have been very careful to follow all of the evinronmental professionals guidelines while completing this work.

Thanks to the 99.9 % of Pemberton residents for being so understanding of this project. We have had a few issues with a small number of people taking out their anger on our construction and environmental team. But we think that they were just having a bad day.

If you are mad or angry call the PVDD. Please leave the people who are just doing their job alone. They have to follow worksafe rules for access around eqiupment and are not installing fencing because they want to make your day miserable.

Thanks again Pemberton and enjoy your day.

Poplar bridge is now open

08/04/2026

Good morning Pemberton,

Just a reminder that starting on August 10th, the area in the red rectangle below will be closed until the Arn Canal vegetation management is completed. There will be construction fencing installed to keep people from accessing. There will be heavy equipment, dump trucks and workers in the area for 2-3 weeks. Please plan your walking routes accordingly. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this is necessary work to ensure that the Arn Canal will function properly when the fall rains come.

The covered foot bridge will be close for the entire duration, but we will try to open the Poplar street bridge once we move past that area.

Good evening,

This Thursday night July 9th at the community center the PVDD will be holding its annual general meeting at 7 pm.

If you are interested in what's going on with the PVDD, come out and learn about us. We have a lot going on this year (River modelling, future d**e route modeling, Mt. Meager landslide monitoring equipment and early warning system installation and a plethora of other projects).

Come out for a 1 or so hour meeting and see what happening.

Have a good night.
