Pine Valley was closed this past May. Didn't look open as I recall in September.
Sikanni River (was Sikanni Chief)was open in September and will be open in the Spring, likely around May 10, maybe earlier. New owners living on premises year round, except for a wedding in Saskatchewan May 1.
Pink Mountain was open, both sides of the road. Ditto Buckinghorse.
Believe Muncho Lake Lodge is closed.
Clearly I was not taking inventory, but these are what sticks in the mind.
My advise has always been to be prepared for 200 miles between fuel stops. That still holds, not knowing who will be open any given year, and open in June does no good in May. Also, not all places have diesel.
If this is going to be a permanent feature I will keep better observations in late April early May and post.

You might also note the fuel situation on the Cassiar.
