The regional district says RCMP and other agencies are expediting the evacuation in the community about 30 kilometres north of Pemberton. 

It says that accommodation in the area is limited and evacuees should try to stay with family and friends, if possible.

The evacuation order replaces an alert issued on June 7, which warned of a possible outburst as the Place Glacier melts in the heat. 

Officials said then that the monitoring system for the glacial lake had reached approximately the same volume seen during an outburst last year.
