Columbia Valley RCMP Report
By Sgt. Ed deJong
This past week, August 19 to August 26, Columbia Valley RCMP responded to 101 calls for service. The following is a summary of some of the files our officers responded to.
No reports of injuries from August 23 windstorm
Of the 101 calls for service this past week, 19 of them were generated due to the windstorm and subsequent power outages on Friday into Saturday morning. These included multiple alarms, abandoned 911 calls, hazardous situations, and marine incidents. Although the storm downed a number of trees and wreaked havoc on the boats in the lake, there were no reports of injuries as a result.
Ring found on Lower Baltac Beach
On August 20, a ring was found at Lower Baltac Beach and turned into the detachment. If you believe this may be your ring, please stop by the detachment and provide a description or photo to claim.
There will be an increase in patrols and enforcement action at Windermere Beach
Youth parties at Windermere Beach on weekends after the beach has closed continues to be a problem. Although most of the youth are cooperative with police when contacted, there will be an increase in patrols and enforcement action. The Windermere beach is closed at 10 p.m. nightly.
