Recovery from the 2023 Bush Creek East wildfire is progressing quickly at Skwl膩x te Secwepemc煤l虛ecw (SteS), and a recent donation of paving will help advance that even further. 

In an Oct. 28 media release from SteS, Skwl膩x Resource Management (SRM) announced it will donate paving improvements to land that had been devastated by the fires. SRM CEO Trevor Delorey said the improvements will be made to both the area surrounding the gas station near the entrance of the community, and by the SteS Industrial Park. 

"The work is meant to improve traffic flow, boost curb appeal and reduce future maintenance needs," the release reads, adding that "SteS Kukpi7 James Tomma and the council are appreciative of SRM for its generosity in beautifying the area."

Paving will begin Tuesday, Oct. 29 and continue to approximately Friday, Nov. 8.
