'We are 50% more resilient than we used to be. We will be 70% more resilient when the Springbank Reservoir project is done in a few years,' Mayor Jyoti Gondek said.
“We are 50% more resilient than we used to be. We will be 70% more resilient when the Springbank Reservoir project is done in a few years,” Gondek said.
The chair of the community association’s flood committee says good progress has been made on new pump stations and renovating storm water lines but a big piece of the puzzle is missing.“We need that flood barrier to give us the protection against the high river and that’s not there yet,” said Charlie Lund chair of Hillhurst-Sunnyside’s flood committee.
“I believe in climate change and I have no doubt it will happen. I appreciate everything the city has done for flood mitigation, but I’m not sure it will ever be enough,” Page said. “We never thought about leaving. This is such a great community. You know everyone on the street and we have a neighbourhood where you sit on your front porch and talk to people.”
The Alberta government continues to look at options to build additional flood and drought storage capacity on the Bow River.
