Ontario and Quebec Flooding Concerns

Residents in Gatineau and Peterborough remain on high alert as emergency crews work to mitigate the impact of the rising waters.

Agencies like Global Medic are assisting with evacuations and the distribution of flood-protection equipment to vulnerable areas.

The flooding has also disrupted local transportation and prompted warnings for residents to stay away from fast-moving waterways.

Meteorologists predict that water levels will peak this morning, but continued rain in the forecast could prolong the crisis for many communities.
