Swan River Floods Hit Hard Again | Winnipeg News

Swan River, Manitoba is reeling from a devastating second flood in just one month, forcing over 200 families to flee their homes as water lingers on flat terrain, delaying cleanup and amplifying emotional trauma. Heavy rains triggered widespread flooding, shutting down 60+ highways and trapping campers at Duck Mountain Provincial Park, while Dauphin’s major hospital remained dark and closed. Though water receded quickly in Dauphin, Swan River’s situation is dire — repairs from the first flood are undone, and the mayor voiced frustration over delayed federal aid. But hope arrived Friday: the federal government approved assistance, including Canadian Armed Forces and veteran-led teams. The mayor is ready — but knows recovery will be long, with the light at the end of the tunnel still far off.
