Two Northern Health buses departed from CNC  and headed towards the South Cariboo region with some evacuees.

On board were a few dozen people that were allowed back to the Cariboo region since the City activated Emergency Social Services on July 8.

They were travelling to the District of 100 Mile House and nearby areas such as 108 Mile and Lac la Hache, which have recently had their Evacuation Orders scaled back to Evacuation Alerts.
