Trudeau was in Revelstoke on Saturday to encourage Canadians to donate to the Red Cross.
He asked people to text BCFires to 20222 to make an automatic $10 donation to the organization.
Williams Lake saw its evacuation order downgraded to an alert late last week but with strong winds expected, residents who chose to return were warned to be ready to leave again at a moment’s notice.
