The Ministry of Natural Resources – Pembroke District is advising area residents that a Flood Warning is in effect for areas along the Ottawa River until Friday, May 02, 2025 (if not updated/replaced).
Recent rainfall combined with warmer temperatures has melted most of the remaining snow locally. Remnants of the snowpack through the northern portion of the Ottawa river watershed are expected to continue to melt sustaining elevated levels and flows. This combined effect is causing the water levels and flows of the Ottawa River to rise.
