Public advisory: Boaters advised to use caution when passing through Site C dam site

May 15th, 2020

BC Hydro is advising boaters and river users to use caution when passing through the Site C dam site.

BC Hydro is performing in-river work on both banks of the Peace River at the dam site to prepare for river diversion later this year.

What to expect

• In-river hazards due to shallow areas close to the work site.
• Material being placed into the river.
• Restricted areas marked with safety signage and beacons.

Permanent closures on the Peace and Moberly Rivers begin on June 15, 2020, when a debris management system is installed approximately two kilometres upstream of the construction area. A seasonal portage program to transport non-motorized vessels will be available after river closure.
