A mudslide in Coquitlam, caused by heavy rain, forced evacuations, cut power to 5,000 homes, and led to six people and a dog being rescued.
A mudslide on Pipeline Road in Coquitlam, British Columbia, early Thursday, March 19, 2026, triggered evacuations, knocked down power lines, and cut electricity to about 5,000 homes, with 20 still without service due to unstable ground.
Six people and a dog were rescued by helicopter, and no injuries were reported.
The slide, caused by heavy rainfall—nearly 200 mm since Monday—affected at least four homes and two industrial properties near the Coquitlam Water Treatment Plant.
Emergency crews, including fire, RCMP, search and rescue, and city staff, responded, with roads closed and the public urged to stay away.
Full power restoration may not occur until late Thursday or Friday.
Flood watches remain in effect for the region.
