Geotech review of Campbell River slide underway as residents remain out of homes
Geotechnical professionals will arrive in Campbell River Thursday to determine what steps will be made to ensure a repeat of the landslide which happened at 738 Island Highway doesn’t happen again.
Hadfield said that after the first landslide, which took place at 7 p.m., a second, much smaller one occurred about a 30 minutes later. It was then determined evacuation was the best course of action. Strathcona Regional District Protective Services Coordinator Shaun Koopman said that a residence centre had been set up at Campbell River Baptist Church, located at 260 Dogwood St., as well as a second one which was set up at the Strathcona Gardens recreation centre earlier Wednesday.
In addition, the city has arranged for residents to stay with others and get some personal belongings, as Koopman says that a group lodging facility was the “worse case scenario”
