Wells Gray Park reopening

Wells Gray Provincial Park will reopen to the public Tuesday morning.

BC Parks in consultation with the Kamloops Fire Centre, made that announcement Monday, after recent precipitation, cooler temperatures and a moderate fire danger rating in northern portions of the fire centre.

The park will reopen at 7 a.m. Tuesday.

The public will once again be able to use North Thompson Park, as well as recreation trails and sites within Wells Gray Provincial Park.

BC Parks and the BC Wildfire Service will continue to assess the situation to help protect public safety. Should the need arise, additional provincial park closures may be enacted throughout the summer.

People are reminded a province-wide campfire ban remains in effect across B.C.
