Redcliff resident Linda Klapp learns about how inflow and infiltration affect sewer systems during a town hall open house held Thursday evening.
An erratic Calgary man drove through Okotoks and Aldersyde hitting a Petro-Canada store and eight vehicles before officers intercepted him. A RCMP officer and a carjacking victim suffered non life threatening injuries and the suspect was arrested after stealing another vehicle and being wounded.
Environment Canada issued an advisory for southeast Alberta and Cypress County as a slow moving low pressure system spurs thunderstorms. Funnel clouds may form under growing clouds with a weak rotation, carrying a risk of a weak landspout tornado and possible light damage. Seek shelter if a funnel cloud appears and report severe weather to 1 800 239 0484 or storm ec.gc.ca.
Premier Dave Hancock tours Medicine Hat to mark the one year anniversary of southern Alberta floods. Mayor Ted Clugston accompanies the premier touring damaged sites as the South Saskatchewan River flood peak from June 2013 is recalled. Over 30 communities declared emergencies and damages exceed 6 billion dollars. In Medicine Hat the water peaked June 24 with 10 000 residents evacuated and 500 homes badly damaged. Hancock praises Albertans’ spirit as morning ceremonies proceed in High River and Calgary.
Harlow residents cancel open house this week as flood infrastructure updates proceed. Officials anticipate June 25 committee briefing with river modelling and design updates. Dikes at Lions Park and River Flats, new elevated access road berm, and possible private-property berm alignments are under review with funding from the Community Resiliency Program.
Fire chief Brian Stauth says despite a predicted peak river flow of 2700 cubic metres per second there will be no evacuations or sewer valve closures. Temporary berms at Harlow Factory Street and Lions Park remain, with lessons from 2013 guiding organized, proactive flood planning as upstream communities stay on alert and southern Alberta rivers are expected to fall next week. The MD of Tabor and others have declared local emergencies as the region monitors rising waters.
Hancock announced the contract would terminate at year end. Weadick said delays in money reaching those in need could improve with more government involvement and a cross ministerial approach. Alberta’s flood threat has eased but heavy rain continues in rural municipalities and relief decisions may come soon.
