Sumas Prairie 2021 Flood Update final
from Depictions Media Hosted by Michael Clogs
People in Abbotsford will be better protected from flooding with more recovery work underway, including permanent Sumas Dike repairs and sediment removal for sites in the Fraser Valley. Emergency Management BC is providing more than $1.6 million for repairs to the dike through the Disaster Financial Assistance program. The repairs are expected to be complete by the end of November 2022. “We’re very pleased that the City of Abbotsford, with the support of the Semá:th First Nation, is moving forward with permanent repairs to the Sumas Dike,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “We are encouraged by this collaborative work on solutions for flood mitigation in the Sumas Prairie, and we will continue to support this work as we move forward.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depictions-media--4208927/support.
