. The Quebec municipality of Pontiac, northwest of Ottawa, ordered about 20 residents out of their houses as the waters of the Ottawa River reached citizens’ doors. It brought the number of people pushed from their homes to 500.
The Trudeau government said it wants to meet with the provinces to find solutions to the recurring problem.“We’ll have to think about where we build and how we build,” said federal Infrastructure Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne. Ms. Nolan recalls springtime flooding in her youth that required residents to take to canoes to navigate the streets. But water levels never reached homes like they have this year.“It’s a bit scary to think the water could come up this high. There are more houses being destroyed this year,” said Ms. Nolan, a life-long village resident.
Threats remained in parts of Ontario. On Tuesday, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority issued a water safety notice for rivers and streams as well as a hazard warning for the Lake Ontario shoreline. The city’s rivers and streams are not expected to flood, but rising Lake Ontario water levels are showing early impact signs on both lake and river shorelines, including pooling on beaches and parks.
God help these people
