More than two weeks after a dozen students were injured at Cultus Lake Waterpark, an in-depth investigation of the facility remains ongoing.

BC Hydro confirmed it was an electrical issue at the park and that it originated on the 'customer’s side' of the electrical service.

The Wildfire Service said the fire is burning near the Jade Bay Day Use Campground on the east side of Cultus Lake. It is mapped at 0.5 hectares in size.

Roberta Marie Ferguson was 19 years old when she disappeared from the Cultus Lake area of British Columbia on August 24, 1988. Born on November 19, 1968, Roberta was the youngest of nine children and grew up in a close-knit family in Grimshaw, Alberta. Her sisters later remembered her as quiet at times but also funny, kindhearted and strong-willed. She loved drawing, dancing and reading Archie comics, and when her sisters were sick, she jokingly transformed herself into “Dr. Mentality,” bringing them soup and trying to make them feel better.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have recovered the body of a 13-year-old girl from Cultus Lake in British Columbia after a three-day search. The teenager, who was not wearing a life jacket, fell into the lake from a paddleboard following a suspected medical emergency on Saturday. RCMP Cpl. Carmen Kiener confirmed the body was found approximately 20 metres below the surface on Monday. The incident has prompted warnings about water safety, as accidental drownings in B.C. have risen sharply this summer. Kiener highlighted the dangers of the lake, noting near-drowning incidents are common, including a recent case where a man without a life jacket fell into the water and required assistance. The RCMP emphasized the importance of wearing life jackets, having swimming skills, and avoiding solo swimming. The case has been handed over to the B.C. Coroners Service for further investigation. Authorities are urging the public to exercise caution around waterways, especially in areas with challenging conditions like Cultus Lake.

A preliminary investigation into an incident at a B.C. water park that sent a dozen children to hospital on Monday has found "electrical non-compliances" at the site.
