We're not out of the woods yet in terms of this spring's slide events from high water levels and rapid snow melt.
In Mission, four homes had to be evacuated because of slide risk, and it turns out these homes were built on unstable land fill. A few weeks ago two other homes had to be demolished in the same area because they were left on the edge of a slide. I wonder if any other homes in the area will be affected by these events.
Mission officials said more families could soon be forced out of their homes.
Engineers will soon be assessing eight other houses in the neighbourhood that they believe may also be at risk.
