Mossey River Municipality has declared a state of emergency because of historic flooding. Reeve Ron Kostyshyn says the Fork River Tributary and the Fishing River Tributary have left their banks, causing major overland flooding.
As of today's council meeting and doing some assessment of the road infrastructure and bridges, we've gone through some major flooding issues since Thursday of last week which has prompted the state of emergency resolution we put through.
The municipality is working with the provincial government to assess just how severe the damage is, and they ask that anyone who has experienced a lot of damage contact the municipality office at 204-656-4791.
