Peter Milobar

Kamloops-Centre MLA Peter Milobar owes BC Wildfire Service an apology, says B.C. Forest Minister Ravi Parmar. In an interview with The Hope Standard, Parmar said that Milobar owes the BC Wildfire Service, and all wildland firefighters, an apology after he posted a tweet on X criticizing BC Wildfire Service for allegedly just watching the Mine Creek blaze burn instead of responding to it after he drove on the highway on Sept. 3 around 11:30 a.m. …Parmar said that Milobar also needs to educate himself and speak with wildland firefighters before commenting on wildfires again. In his post, Milobar said that he “drove through around 11:30 a.m. today (Sept. 3) and was on the other side of the ridge. No actioning (can you say save money with fiscal mess) and now we have a closed major highway, at what cost to the economy and infrastructure impacts?”
