B.C. dam threatens to burst, prompting evacuation alert for 14 properties

October 8, 2025

An illegally built dam in front of a B.C. Interior lake threatens to burst, forcing residents along the river downstream to prepare to evacuate.

About 14 homes along Fadear Creek, located about 15 kilometres north of Sun Peaks Mountain, have been put on evacuation alert due to the possible “imminent” failure of a nearby dam.
