In order to help residents better prepare for possible weekend flooding, sandbags are being made available to residents of the Terrace area.
In order to combat flood risks and damages, the City is partnering with the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine to make the sandbags available.
Hand-bagging is now available on a self-serve basis at the Terrace Public Works Yard on Graham Avenue, between 7:00 and 3:30 on weekdays.
Sand and burlap sacks will be on site, but residents are asked to bring their own shovels.
A sandbagging machine, provided by Emergency Management BC, is also available at the vacant log area at the northwest corner of Keith and Kenney.
Crews will be on site filling the machine, capable of filling 600 bags per hour, with empty and some pre-filled bags available.
Sandbags and sand are also available at the Thornhill Fire Department between 8:30 and 4:30 on weekdays.
Those looking for sand or sandbags in the Smithers area should call 250 877 1183.
