Following an in-depth risk assessment, consultation with health officials, First Nations, and community leaders, the decision was made to close the Skins Lake Spillway campground near Burns Lake for the remainder of 2020.
This closure is to mitigate COVID-19 risks to our employees, contractors and specifically local communities surrounding the campsite.
The boat launch at the campsite will be accessible for residential water trucks and local boat launching.
For questions or concerns, please contact Lianne Olson, communications and community advisor at 250-692-9618.
Rio Tinto apologizes for any inconvenience and wishes everyone a safe and healthy summer.
