The emergency room in New Denver will be closed over the Labour Day weekend.
Interior Health hasn’t been able to find anyone to cover for a departing physician.
But administrator Karen Bloemink expects this to be a rare event.
The ER will close at 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 1 and reopen at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 5.
The next closest emergency room is in Nakusp.
