Archaeological Study

August 26, 2026

From mid-September through October, the CVRD will conduct a preliminary archaeological impact assessment in the communities of Royston and Kilmarnock. This work will involve excavation, trenching and drilling of auger holes, and will be overseen by archaeologists.

Neighbourhood Impacts

  • Crews will be on site at various locations throughout Royston and Kilmarnock, Monday to Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
  • No traffic detours are expected.
  • Ground disturbance will happen mostly along road shoulders and boulevards.
  • Equipment may take up a travel lane during work hours and single lane alternating traffic may be required around the equipment and workers.
  • There may be temporary driveway blockages. This would be less than 8 hours in duration and residents will be given 48 hours’ notice.
