Light at the end of the tunnel for TerraceBC landslide victims
There’s some light at the end of the tunnel for families living on McConnell Crescent in Terrace and watching their backyards slowly erode into the Kitsumkalum River below them.
Amanda Horvath said she and her family are “on pins and needles” as they wait for the work to start, adding that there’s no way of knowing how much the landslide might progress over the winter. EMBC northwest manager Crissy Bennett had also promised a town hall meeting with neighbourhood residents but the families say that never materialized.
The first landslide was in 2017, to the south of 5416 and 5418 McConnell, according to the city. In 2019 another landslide took out the backyard of the Mores’ home, its steep cliff now feet away from their home.Last February, property owners asked for urgent financial help from the city. As of last year, the river had moved about one kilometre over the course of 80 years and the city estimated erosion causing landslides would continue.
