Floodwater start to subside in Manitoba but not out of the woods yet: officials
CARMAN, Man. — Some of the floodwater that prompted states of emergencies and evacuations in small Manitoba communities is starting to subside, although officials say the danger is not over yet.
Rising water from the spring melt over the weekend forced dozens of people from the Peguis First Nation along the Fisher River north of Winnipeg.
There were also evacuees from the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation along the Assiniboine River in western Manitoba.
Closer to Winnipeg, ice jams on the Boyne River caused water to pour into dozens of basements on the weekend.
