Lillooet Lake Estates and Heather Jean Properties Evacuation Alert – Road Access

On Thursday, November 13, 2026 the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) issued an Evacuation Alert  for properties at Lillooet Lake Estates and Heather Jean Properties in Electoral Area C. These areas are also impacted by the In-SHUCK-ch Forest Service Road (FSR) closure.

The SLRD is working with geotechnical engineers and the Ministry of Forests to ensure the Ministry and their contractors can safely work to clear the debris and open access to the In-SHUCK-ch FSR as soon as possible.

The Evacuation Alert remains active.

An Evacuation Alert does not mean you must leave property. When properties are placed on Evacuation Alert, people are asked to pack important items and be ready to leave should and Evacuation Order be issued. 

For people who are affected by the road closure, and under an Evacuation Alert:

• Still pack a go-bag with essential items such as government-issued ID, medications, eyeglasses, valuable papers (insurance, credit and mortgage information), immediate care needs for dependents and, if time and space permits, keepsakes for quick departure.
• If an Evacuation Order is issued, residents will be given as much advance notice as possible.
• In this case, if an Evacuation Order was to be issued while the In-SHUCK-ch FSR remains closed, evacuation route and instructions would be provided at the time of the Evacuation Order being issued.

Please note that Emergency Support Services (ESS) are provided to residents placed on Evacuation Order and can be accessed by calling the Canadian Red Cross: 1-888-800-6493. The ESS Reception Centre at the Pemberton & District Community Centre is open November 13 and November 14 from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.
