The Township of Minden Hills has terminated the State of Emergency that was enacted on April 14 in response to the flood conditions and escalating impact on the community and local infrastructure.
As of April 29, Parks Canada and the Ministry of Natural Resources officials said water levels across the region are stabilizing, and that they will continue to monitor water levels over the next two weeks while continuing to have regular conversations Township representatives.
“After 15 days the situation is stable, although the water levels will be fluctuating over the next two weeks. The information and data indicate the water levels are manageable at this point,” said Mayor Bob Carter. “When our community is faced with adversity, the best comes out in Minden Hills. We come together, help one another with acts of care and kindness. It is inspiring and I say a sincere thank you to everyone.”
The township says if you have sandbags, they were filled with clean sand and you can use the sand on your property. Empty sandbags are not recyclable and can be thrown out with regular household waste.
