Bracebridge is one of several communities north of Toronto, including Huntsville and Minden Hills, that have declared emergencies due to flooding
BRACEBRIDGE, Ont. — Members of the Canadian Armed Forces have arrived in a small town in central Ontario’s cottage country that’s grappling with record floodwaters, where soldiers will help with sandbagging and other relief efforts.
Lt.-Col. Graham Walsh told the same press conference that a group of reservists based in the Toronto area will deploy a total 60 soldiers to assist with emergency efforts in Bracebridge. He told reporters on Sunday that roughly 27,000 sandbags have already been distributed in the community, and he expected the flood conditions to linger for “several more days.”
In addition to the danger due to what Smith called a “massive amount of debris” in the surging waters, those “touring around” were hampering sandbagging efforts, he said.
