Residents in the Old Fort neighbourhood outside Fort St. John have been placed on evacuation alert. The Peace River Regional District issued the alert at 10 a.m. on Oct. 1, as a landslide continues to move toward the Peace River.

A landslide in the Old Fort neighbourhood could take days to stabilize. The hill side on the north bank of the Peace River outside Fort St. John slipped sometime overnight on Sunday and continues to move.

Officials are assessing damages and a plan for repairs after a landslide damaged and closed the Old Fort Road outside Fort St. John on Sunday. The road is closed past the entrance to Site C.
