COMMUNITY ALERT - High Water

This just arrived from Toronto Police Services - Division 33

High Water Alert


This message is a public warning for potential flooding of our river systems.

Evironment Canada had forecasted heavy winds and rain over the last few days. The amount of rain that has fallen can lead to swelling and dangerous swift currents in the river systems in the greater Toronto area.

The Toronto Police are requesting the public be mindful of these extreme conditions caused when rivers flood. In particular the vulnerability of children who are so often attracted to the waters edge. Keep an eye on your children at all times and discuss with them the danger that high water poses.

For more information please contact Environment Canada or the Toronto Police Service Mar ine Unit.
