The River Forecast Centre is maintaining a flood warning for the Boundary region as the Kettle, West Kettle and Granby rivers have burst their banks in several places

Story continues below advertisement

The forecast centre says rivers in the Boundary and East Kootenay regions were peaking late Monday while West Kootenay waterways are receding following heavy weekend rains and continued snowmelt. A flood warning for the West Kootenay has been downgraded to a flood watch and similar watches remain posted for the East Kootenay and the Bonaparte River near Cache Creek.

To the north, rising levels on waterways near Williams Lake and Quesnel have prompted a flood watch, and in the Fraser Valley, evacuation alerts have been posted for land not protected by dikes as the Fraser River creeps up east of Vancouver.
