The province of BC has extended the closure the Allie Lake and Elephant Hill wildfire zones to motorized vehicle use until December of 2020.

The closure does not affect established roads, or the existing snowmobile trails.

The closure of the area is being put in place so the recovery and restoration of the areas sensitive ecosystem can be implemented. Unauthorized off road vehicle use may have negative effects on soil compaction and erosion, as well as bringing invasive plants into the area which would affect grassland health and habitat recovery.

A larger map of the affected areas can be found online here.

The Elephant Hill wildfire burned 191, 865 hectares in 2017, while this years Allie Lake fire burned 2700 hectares.

The BX Morning Show


I first got into radio when I was a kid when a friend and I made our own radio shows on cassete tapes. Growing up in 100 Mile House, I did a workstudy at this very station.

Thanks to some good advice from my radio mentor Larry Rode, I got a certificate in broadcast arts in 1991. After failing to break into radio after school, I did other jobs but kept my hand in, working as morning host and program director at my universitys station, WUFK in Fort Kent, Maine.

Coming back to 100 Mile, when the afternoon and news job opened up, I took the dive back into radio! When Larry retired after nearly 35 years in 100 Mile, I took over the morning show. I’m happy to be at CKBX, where I always wanted to work, and waking up my hometown!

Tune-in with Chris weekday mornings from 6am to 10am

Will the B.C. interior have a bigger voice in Victoria?

Politics
Morris noted having a premier from the interior is not unprecedented: W.A.C. Bennett and his son Bill, who were by turns premier for most of the years between 1952 and 1986, were from Kelowna. (Going much further back, Dr. John Duncan McLean, who was premier in 1927-28, was from Greenwood. He had previously been a schoolteacher in Rossland.)
