Site C Reservoir Filling Begins Late This Summer

As part of the completion of the Site C project, we plan to begin filling the reservoir between Fort St. John and Hudson’s Hope in late August 2024.

There will be permanent changes to the Peace River. Here’s what to expect:

● Reservoir water levels will rise for up to four months, by 0.3 to three metres per day. The river will widen by two to three times on average.
● The existing Halfway River boat launch will permanently close on August 12. New boat launches will be inaccessible until at least spring 2026 as BC Hydro monitors the surrounding slopes for safety.
● Please stay off the reservoir and its tributaries, specifically the Halfway River, during filling and use extreme caution near the shoreline.
