🚨Fallen & low hanging power lines are an emergency - even if they aren’t buzzing or sparking when you come across them⚡️

1️⃣ Stay back at least 10 metres - (about the length of a bus) 🚌

2️⃣ Keep others away too ✋

3️⃣ Call 9-1-1 ☎️

A road cuts through a wooded area with tall trees on both sides. One tree is fallen directly across the road from one side to the other. Behind the three are multiple trucks and crews of people are working on restoring power lines that have been pulled down from their poles by the fallen tree.

This has been a difficult week for many people impacted by flooding in B.C.

Today, Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social, Minister @lanapopham.bsky.social, Mayor Ross Siemens, and I visited the Barrowtown Pump Station and impacted farmers in @cityofabbotsford.bsky.social.

Abbotsford Mayor, Ross Siemens shakes hands with Minister Kelly Greene at the Barrowtown Pump Station in the City of Abbotford - both of them are wearing warm jackets. Abbotsford Mayor Ross Siemen and David Eby the Premier of British Columbia are standing inside the Barrowtown Pump Station having a discussion. In the background of the photo looking out the loading bay's open doors you can see multiple sandbags around the perimeter of the facility to protect against flooding. A wide-angle photo of the Barrowtown Pump Station in the City of Abbotsford shows the grey square building. The loading door is open allowing you to see into the station where a group of people are gathered having a discussion. Around the perimeter of the entry into the loading dock you can see large white coloured sandbags stacked in a row to protect against flooding. In the far background of the photo you can see it is overcast grey skies and there is a wooded area to the right side. Three large grey Barrowtown Pump infrastructure units are situated in a row. On each unit is a black placard that reads in grey text "Canadian General Elecric".
