Ministry Issues Flood Watch Until April 17

Flood Watch in effect for our area until Friday, April 17

The Ministry of Natural Resources Bracebridge Minden Parry Sound District has issued a Flood Watch for area watersheds, including the Muskoka River watershed.

With forecasted rainfall and warmer temperatures, water levels and river flows are expected to rise. The potential for flooding exists.

Residents should use extra caution around all waterways. Fast moving water, slippery banks, and cold temperatures create hazardous conditions. Ice conditions are unpredictable and unsafe.

If your property has been affected by high water in past years, take steps now to secure items and protect vulnerable areas. Keep children and pets away from shorelines and fast flowing water.

Stay informed and monitor conditions regularly.
