The B.C. government has called on residents to conserve water as officials continue to monitor drought conditions in the province.

“Consider taking shorter showers. Only do full loads of dishes and laundry. Water your lawn sparingly,” said Emergency Management Minister Bowinn Ma at a press conference on July 10 where she announced the expansion of the campfire ban in most of B.C. in response to ongoing wildfires.
