In April 2022 , a geoscience consultant warned Lions Bay council that climate change could bring more landslides and debris flows of varying sizes.

It was the second time since 2018 that the council examined the risk of landslides, debris flows and rockfalls.

The councils during the past six years have not acted on concerns raised by the 2022 warning or the earlier report from consulting firm Cordilleran Geoscience .

The slide spilled across the busy Sea to Sky Highway and down to Howe Sound , carrying with it mud, rocks and trees.

The Village of Lions Bay has said the slide began in an area around Battani Creek .

Following a deadly slide in 1983 , work was carried out to reduce the risk of debris flows on several creeks.
