@SixSatSunday@ShawInfo Yes - it was great to have a text message group in our neighbourhood too as all of the Telus customers were keeping the rest of us updated. Good to hear you're safe Rod. Take care.
Hi @shawinfo
THREAD - Our neighbourhood of Rose Valley is West Kelowna has been under an evacuation order from wildfires since a Thursday. Now we have also been experiencing a Shaw internet outage for close to 30 hours.
Huge congratulations to Chief Walter Roos who took his Canadian citizenship oath while fighting the fires in West Kelowna. A new Canadian and already a hero! You’ve more than earned it, Chief Roos! #cdnpoli
With the continued effort to combat the McDougal Creek Wildfire we ask that all residents please stay off the lake North of the William R. Bennett Bridge to allow unhindered access to BC Wildfire Service aircraft.
@Shawhelp Obviously we will follow the order - that’s a given - there’s no need of a reminder from you. But your staff member giving us false hope is unacceptable during an emergency.
@Shawhelp Thanks for the reply - so the Shaw staff person that said there is a crew on this problem and that it would be fixed shortly was incorrect ?
We need internet now to check our cameras. Not when the order is over and we can return home !
