McDougall Creek Wildfire impact on services and fees
Recognizing the strain that the McDougall Creek Wildfire continues to place on residents, the Regional Board waived several fees and charges and extended the use of recreational vehicles as temporary buildings from one year to two years for residents who lost their homes. Waived fees include garbage, yard waste and mandatory residential recycle material fees, demolition permit fees and temporary building permit fees.
