Prince George, B.C. – It can be a long   drive  for those evacuees heading  north on highway  5  then   along highway 16 to Prince George,   but the Robson Valley  is  stepping up   to ease the stress.

McBride has opened up  its Community Hall as a comfort centre.  There , people can find information on lodging  for themselves,  their pets  or even their livestock if need be.

The Terracana Lodge between McBride and Valemount is offering free RV and camping spots.

Two  facebook pages have been set up:

McBride Evacuee Comfort Centre  and

Valemount Temporary Emergency Accommodations
