The RDOS does not have authority to provide services for roads. During snowfall events, AIM Roads is mandated to ensure highways and emergency routes are cleared first. 

Rural arterial routes and secondary roads will be cleared after that. If you live within the Regional District, please contact AIM Roads to report issues or concerns at 1-866-222-4204.

Power outages or electrical emergencies
If you see downed power lines, stay at least 10 metres away and call Fortis BC at 1-866-436-7847 or 9-1-1.
