B.C. floods: Highways starting to reopen but free-flowing traffic still months away | FULL

British Columbia may have seen the last of the “intense storms,” according to Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth.

“The worst weather seems to be behind us and I am grateful for that,” he said at a media briefing Thursday.

However, there is still much work to be done in the province.

Farnworth is reminding everyone to continue to obey road closures, abide by fuel rationing and travel only for essential reasons as it could take a long time to rebuild the hardest-hit parts of the province.

“British Columbians have been through a lot and governments at all levels will be here during this difficult time,” Farnworth added.

The federal and provincial governments have now formed a working group, he said, to make sure help and information are available at all levels.
