Premier Kinew says discussions around permanent flood mitigation also happening
The Canadian military has been asked to help prepare Manitoba’s largest First Nation community for an expected spring flood that could reach devastating levels.
“We have put out a request,” Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew told CBC Manitoba Information Radio host Marcy Markusa on Thursday.
“The flood forecasting centre at the provincial level said this is going to be a potentially very threatening spring for the Fisher River area.”
