FOR A BETTER CALGARY
BY: James Maxim
One year ago many of use in Calgary were preparing for the long weekend with visits to the cabin, going camping or visiting the many Greenhouses of Calgary to purchase bedding out plants for the 2013 spring and summer season.
On June 20, 2013 those communities along the Bow and Elbow River were hit by the worst Canadian disaster in history with floodwaters never experienced in our lifetime.
Today---May 15, 2014--- marks day one of the Calgary May 15—July 15, 2014 Flood Season.
Today I awoke to see the Elbow River at the highest level for 2014. I found out later that the dam waters were being released. The river is high and will continue to be high due to water from the dam, not water from spring melt.
Calgarians who live near the communities which saddle the river of both the Bow and Elbow Rivers keep an eye on the levels of water--be prepared
I urge all Calgarians to visit Calgary.ca/floodinfo for updates and to subscribe to the City of Calgary Newsletter.
STAY INFORMED ABOUT ALL THINGS FLOOD-RELATED
