Episode Details

Heavy rain is flooding Calgary’s Bow and Elbow rivers, triggering emergency measures as officials divert water into reservoirs and issue safety advisories. While no widespread overland flooding is expected, localized flooding, closed trails, and basement seepage are likely. Canmore and Kananaskis have declared local states of emergency, with road closures and evacuation alerts lifted in Canmore but still active in Kananaskis due to mudslides. Calgary’s Fire Department warns against all river activities — boating, swimming, or even walking near the banks — as fast, debris-filled waters pose serious risks through Canada Day and beyond. Flow rates hit over 430 cubic meters per second, urging extreme caution for everyone near the rivers.
