“We appreciate your understanding and support during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with everyone affected and we hope for everyone’s safety,” Old Towne Inn Chuckwagon Bar & Grill said. “We’ll keep you posted when we feel it’s safe to bring our staff back to work.”

The restaurant has since indicated it will be operating from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. today (Monday, July 6).

“Please be advised that our staff is minimized, and we appreciate your patience in advance. Thank you,” the restaurant said.

At least one business in the Fraser Canyon is doing what it can to assist people impacted by the evacuation orders or alerts. The Gridlock RV Campground at 28445 Trans Canada Highway near Emory Creek Campground and Squeah is welcoming all Boston Bar evacuees.

All RV fees are being waived, according to a post from Kelly Mackie in a Hope-area Facebook group.
