Sparse snowpack and ongoing drought are starting to impact summer events across the province, with some organizers making changes to scheduling or cancelling their events outright.
Earlier this week, the Fort St. John International Air Show Society announced the cancellation of its much-anticipated August air show, citing concerns over wildfire risk amid the ongoing drought in the Peace Region.
The Kamloopa Powwow Society has also rescheduled its annual three-day celebration, from August to June 28-30, to avoid extreme heat and potential wildfire smoke.
In a similar vein, the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society is bumping up the dates for its annual Roots and Blues Music Festival, from August to July
