Military Teams Assist Flood Recovery in Manitoba | Winnipeg News

Canadian military reconnaissance teams are now on the ground in western Manitoba’s Parkland region, helping communities recover from devastating floods caused by overflowing rivers like the Swan River. Arriving last Saturday, these engineering specialists are working with local officials to assess damage and prioritize urgent needs, as many areas face their second flood in a month. With roads, bridges, and rail lines damaged, several communities declared local emergencies. The federal government is stepping in with logistical support and disaster aid, while some neighborhoods lift evacuation orders as waters recede. Elsewhere in southwestern Manitoba, residents brace for more flooding by building sandbag dikes, and in the Interlake region, overland flooding persists—with one airport closed until July and flood barriers going up to protect homes still at risk.
