The Canadian Press British Columbia officials say there is a risk of more landslides and bank erosion as a large lake of water and debris flows past a landslide that blocked the Chilcotin River for days. The latest provincial update says a “significant amount of instability and bank failures” have been observed along the Chilcotin River from the confluence of the Fraser River to the site of the massive landslide. Videos shared by the Tsilqot’in National Government show a small cabin, whole trees and chunks of the riverbank washing away in the fast-moving river. The provincial update says officials haven’t confirmed if the water flows that moved over the blockage on Monday have peaked, and it’s possible that there may be another surge as the water moves through unstable sediments.
