The Bass Coast Festival has come together to help the community and is back in action this summer.

Bass Coast is a music festival that takes place every summer in Merritt, B.C. since 2013. Back in November, all 7,000 residents of Merritt had to evacuate because of heavy rainfall that caused the Coldwater River to overrun and flood the community. Many people lost their homes and livestock to the flood, the city’s wastewater treatment system was damaged and bridges and highways were wiped out.
