Description

Alberta Parks has declared a local state of emergency in Kananaskis Country as flooding traps 1,500 campers, with officials urging those already there to stay put and newcomers to avoid the area. Canmore has issued an evacuation alert for some residents, advising them to pack for at least three days away from home as creeks surge and threaten homes. Emergency shelters are open at William Watson Lodge and the Peter Lougheed Discovery Centre. Authorities warn against all river and creek activity due to unstable banks and unpredictable currents, though officials believe the worst rain may be over—with river levels expected to peak soon.
