On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, the City of Campbell River was alerted to a fuel spill on privately leased land at the Campbell River Airport (YBL). The incident has been reported to the provincial authorities, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada has been informed.
The City promptly responded by deploying absorbent materials, such as sock booms and spill pads, to the affected area to aid in the cleanup efforts.
As a precautionary measure, Airport Drive south of the Terminal Building has been closed to both vehicles and pedestrians until further notice, with local traffic access remaining available. Additionally, trails in the dog-walking area at the south end of Airport Drive have been closed. Residents are advised to avoid creeks and ditches near YBL and keep pets away from the area while cleanup efforts continue.
The City will remain actively involved in the response and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
