- Unsettled weather and strong winds in British Columbia led to multiple wildfires and evacuation orders in several districts over the weekend.
- Evacuation orders were issued for areas affected by the Glen Lake fire near Peachland, the Horn Lake fire near Williams Lake, the Clowhom Lake fire near Sechelt, and the Stoddart Creek fire near Fort St. John. In total, 54 rural properties were affected.
