Important Notice Regarding Travel to and from the Bamfield and Anacla Community
With a wildfire called the Mount Underwood located along the Bamfield Main Road above the China Creek area, we respectfully ask visitors to refrain from travelling to the Bamfield and Anacla Community.
With only one safe route accessible through the back road from Bamfield to Youbou (See map below), we encourage visitors to plan to return home, while it is still safe and possible. We kindly ask that no additional visitors come into the area to avoid adding pressure on our limited resources.
The Bamfield Main Road to Port Alberni is closed to all traffic and ask all road users to only take the Youbou route.
Residents in the Bamfield and Anacla area are encouraged to utilize the Youbou Route for essential travel only.
The Pachena Bay Campground is not evacuating current visitors, however, we are monitoring the situation and resources closely.
To stay up-to-date, please download the Voyent Alert App on your mobile device.
Due to power outages and access to internet, physical updates will be available twice daily (in the morning and afternoon) on corkboards located at the Pachena Bay Campground, Bamfield Market, Gas Bar, East and West Government Dock, and in lower and upper Anacla.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We will provide updates as information becomes available.
