Following the destructive fire in the Shuswap community of British Columbia, residents affected by the disaster now face new hurdles as they begin the rebuilding phase.
In an effort to accelerate the reconstruction process, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District has removed a temporary moratorium on building permits in the south Adams Lake and Shuswap Lake areas to carry out geotechnical assessments.
These assessments have uncovered an elevated risk of unstable grounds in the North Shuswap and some of its adjacent areas.
