Lighting along the promenade has been turned off until the water subsides.

The city is encouraging people to explore some of Kelowna’s other 200 plus parks and green spaces.

Meanwhile, the BC River Forecast Centre has lifted its high stream flow advisory for Mission Creek.

Advisories for the Kettle River and its tributaries near Grand Forks and for water courses in the Revelstoke and Columbia region have also ended.
