An evacuation alert issued for several properties in British Columbia’s Interior last week over concerns of a potential failure of a man-made dam has been rescinded.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District posted to its website Friday that the risks associated with the dam had officially been downgraded to “all clear.”

The regional district had said on Oct. 7 that the unauthorized, man-made dam could fail and create “an uncontrolled release of water” into Fadear Creek in an area about 13 kilometres north of Sun Peaks Mountain, and it issued the alert for 14 properties downriver from the dam.
