ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
Design for upgrades to the Highway 5/E. Shuswap intersection are proceeding, with construction scheduled to begin late spring.

Tk'emlups te Secwepemc has indicated construction of the roundabout at the entrance to Sun Rivers will proceed this year. This will align the entrance to TteS lands to the south with the Sun Rivers entrance and provide improved traffic flow. More information on the planned improvements will come soon.
STORM WATER DETENTION POND

Construction has started on a storm water detention pond below The Pointe, just above E. Shuswap Rd. This pond will control the rate of flow of storm water leaving the Sun Rivers site. Once complete, the hillside and surrounding area disturbed during construction will be revegetated with natural grasses.
COMMITTEE VOLUNTEERS

The Community Association will be working with Tk'emlups te Secwepemc on a number of issues of importance to the Sun Rivers Community. The Community and Intergovernmental Relations Committee will be heading this initiative on behalf of Sun Rivers residents. Resident volunteers are needed to assist in discussions with TteS.

If you would like to volunteer some time, please email your contact information to community@sunrivers.com .
SECURITY CAMERA
The Community's security camera has been installed on Sun Rivers Drive. This camera captures licence plates of vehicles entering and leaving Sun Rivers.
If you see or are the victim of any crime, report the crime to the RCMP by calling 911 or at the detachment located on E. Shuswap Rd. below Sun Rivers.
The RCMP will contact us for a download of the licence plates captured around the time of the crime to aid their search for the offenders.
Remember to always lock your home and vehicles.
PROPERTY UPKEEP
The Guidelines require all home-sites to be kept in "as new" condition. Committee members will be checking the condition of properties noting those in need of maintenance.
If you are planning any changes to the exterior of your home, including repainting or landscape changes, please download, complete and submit the Homesite Alteration Request from mysunrivers.com/forms . Community and neighbourhood approval is required for any planned changes.
