Based on information provided by conservation authorities, including the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board, the City of Ottawa is expecting flood levels along the Ottawa River to rise above normal levels by Wednesday or Thursday this week.

The flood levels are currently below what residents experienced in the spring of 2017 and 2019. However, residents whose properties and neighbourhoods have experienced flooding in the past 20 years should expect flooding this week.

There is a need for food supplies, donations, equipment, and most importantly, volunteers to help fill sandbags, particularly in the Morris Island area.

There are a number of folks out in the Constance Bay area that have water very dangerously close to their residences. If you have a few hours to give, please visit the West Carleton Disaster Relief.
