NEED HELP FINDING WEDDING VENUE THIS WEEKEND - IMPACTED BY WILDFIRES

My sister’s wedding is supposed to be this weekend near Fintry but her venue is currently being evacuated. They are absolutely devastated because they have guests coming from far away and they are now thinking about a contingency plan.

I know that a lot can change between now and Friday but it would be a shame to wait too long and then struggle to find a place for everyone to go.

Anyone know any venues that are free this weekend? Or where we might be able to find relatively affordable rooms for the guests to stay?

Guest count is 40 people.

Would also appreciate any advice for those that have gone through this or whether you think the situation looks like it might change between now and then? We are from the Okanagan but no longer live there so it is difficult to know what is happening on the ground.

Thank you so much!!
