Assiniboine River Hits Peak, Crisis Averted | Winnipeg News

The Assiniboine River hit its peak at 1,179.46 feet—its highest point—bringing cautious relief to Brandon, Manitoba, but officials warn the danger isn’t over. Water levels remain dangerously high and could rise again with upstream rain. Mayor Jeff Fawcett calls it “cautious optimism” as crews monitor dikes and urge residents to stay alert. Evacuation notices reached 5,000 people, though no one has left yet. With humidex temperatures soaring to 44°C, safety and preparedness remain top priorities as the river slowly begins to recede.
