ARMSTRONG – The local state of emergency declared by the City of Armstrong due to flooding last week has been cancelled.
The city says in a news release the local emergency order was cancelled at 9 a.m. today, March 27.
Large volumes of water collected in low-lying areas last Friday thanks to heavy rain.
Meighan and Deep Creeks will be monitored by city staff. Provincial snow and river forecast data, and Environment Canada forecasts will also be reviewed, the release states.
