Several trailers in a large trailer park in Williams Lake have been ordered evacuated as ground slumps on the slope above the Williams Lake River.

The city issued the evacuation order for the Green Acres Trailer Park yesterday after a geotechnical evaluation of the land slippage that happened Tuesday.

The order says the slide exposed a section of sewer pipe and an access hole and the area is of ``imminent concern.''

The rest of the trailer park has been placed on evacuation alert and Williams Lake officials say they are monitoring and will provide updates when information is available.

City of Williams Lake on Twitter:

Following a geotechnical evaluation, effective immediately, an evacuation order has been issued for six properties in Green Acres Mobile Home Park. All occupants of those properties are required to leave immediately.

Migrant advocates urge federal government to withdraw proposed border security law

Migrant rights organizations are urging the federal government to abandon Bill C-12, legislation they warn could severely limit access to Canada’s refugee system. The proposed border security bill is currently before House of Commons committees, with clause-by-clause review scheduled at the national security committee this week. The bill features several significant changes to immigration and asylum procedures, including a provision that would prevent people who have lived in Canada for more than a year from submitting a refugee claim to the Immigration and Refugee Board.

Search continues for grizzly after Bella Coola school group attacked, Nuxalk Nation raises support funds

British Columbia conservation officers say they are continuing to search the Bella Coola Valley for the grizzly bear involved in a sudden attack on an elementary school group last week. Three students and a teacher were hospitalized on Thursday after the bear charged a group of about 20 people who had stopped for lunch during a field trip. Officials now believe the incident likely involved a mother grizzly with two cubs, a situation that can increase defensive behaviour.
