Glacial Lake Threat Forces Evacuation

Evacuation orders are now active for 20+ homes northwest of Pemberton as a glacial lake, fed by melting Place Glacier, threatens to burst—potentially unleashing a flood similar to last year’s catastrophic event. Residents in Birken’s Poole Creek and Gates Lake areas have been under alert since early June, when water levels hit the same critical threshold seen last time. RCMP are assisting with rapid evacuations, while sensors and cameras monitor the rising lake. Officials warn the situation is escalating and urge residents to stay tuned to the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District for updates as safety remains the top priority.
