    5:00 PM – April 24, 2026

    An Evacuation Order and Alert remain in effect for the Old Fort area due to an active landslide resulting in a Ministry of Transportation and Transit road closure causing community isolation.

    The landslide remains active and unstable. Conditions can change abruptly. Ground movement in the active part of the landslide was noted to be 9 to 10mm/minute on Friday.
