Flood risk report derailed says former minister Groeneveld
Former Agriculture Minister Groeneveld told the Calgary Herald that a flood risk report was derailed and funds could have been spent on preventive measures. He chaired a government committee formed after the 2005 flood, whose draft recommendations included completing flood risk maps, identifying high risk areas, and sharing costs for mitigation. The province argues many recommendations are being acted on, though some maps remain incomplete and future policy includes reassessing provincial aid to flood-prone communities.
