Why Expand?

After the wildfires in 2016, a petition was brought to the PRRD (2019) which contained roughly 80 residents asking for the Regional District to investigate fire protection being expanded to the South Dawson and Briar Ridge areas. Since then, considerable work has gone into finding the best option available for the residents of those areas; which now includes Riley's Crossing. Approximately a combined 337 properties are in the proposed expansion area.
