US EditionHarrison's 'Hobo Hot Springs' to be restored to natural state
- In October 2024, the provincial authority responsible for water and land management in B.C. Mandated that the natural hot springs near the Harrison Hot Springs Resort, known locally as "Hobo Hot Springs," be returned to their prior condition.
- The pools, known locally as the "Hobo Hot Springs," formed from a leak in a damaged overflow pipe and were filled in without ministry approval, prompting talks among the village, resort, and Sts'ailes First Nation.
- Crews from the resort reportedly filled the pools with large boulders in October 2024 without announcement, while the village had only permission to work on surrounding boulders, not to fill the pools themselves.
- A sign posted near the hot springs states the overflow pipe will be repaired, stones removed, digging prohibited, and advises no items be placed in the surrounding water or land.
- The ministry began investigating the unauthorized filling the following month and emphasizes that the hot springs are a Crown resource requiring approval for major changes, with outcomes pending from ongoing restoration efforts.
