CHILLIWACK RCMP responded to a late morning incident at a Cultus Lake water park on Monday where multiple individuals sustained injuries.

On June 15 at approximately 11:20 a.m., Chilliwack RCMP responded to a report of multiple injuries at a water park in Cultus Lake. Paramedics and other first responders attended the scene, providing medical care to 12 individuals.

All injured persons were transported to hospital for further assessment and treatment. The nature of the injuries is reported to be serious but not life-threatening.

BC Hydro told the media that one of its crews found that “the electrical issue” was on the customer’s side of the electrical service.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West said in a post on X: “I am aware that students from Minnekhada Middle School in Port Coquitlam are among those impacted by the incident at Cultus Lake Waterpark today.”

RCMP said that as part of the emergency response, Columbia Valley Highway was temporarily closed in both directions to allow emergency personnel access to the area and to support patient care and transport.

“Our priority from the outset has been the safety and well-being of those involved. This appears to be an isolated incident, and there is no ongoing risk to the public.” said Cpl. Carmen Kiener of Upper Fraser Valley RCMP.

“First responders acted quickly to secure the area, provide care, and ensure all individuals received the medical attention they required. We are grateful for the various agencies that attended this incident to assist all of those affected.”

The investigation remains ongoing to determine the cause of the incident. Chilliwack RCMP is working with WorkSafeBC who has taken over conduct of the investigation.

At this time, there is no indication that the event was caused by a person, and investigators do not believe it to be the result of deliberate human action, RCMP said.

Meanwhile, West said in his statement on X: “As a dad, my heart goes out to the students and families affected. There are few things more frightening than receiving a call that your child has been hurt while away from you on a school trip.”

He added: “I am fully engaged on this matter and am in contact with the appropriate authorities as more information becomes available. The City of Port Coquitlam stands ready to support affected families in any way we can. We also extend our sincere gratitude to the first responders, medical personnel, and staff for their quick response.”
