The Okanagan Indian Band (OKIB) is currently monitoring Whiteman香蕉视频直播檚 Creek and performing debris removal, as an increased flooding risk due to the rising temperatures have occurred over the past couple of days.

Crews are currently on site to mitigate the freshet debris.

According to Shayne Watson, the bridge was minutes away from being lost on Saturday night, due to the high water levels.

Motorists are advised to expect delays and intermittent closures.

OKIB would also like to advise boaters in the north arm of Okanagan Lake to exercise caution while boating as there is a high likelihood of large debris such as stumps or logs in the lake.
