NEWS RELEASE
PARKS CANADA
*************************
Parks Canada advises the public to expect higher-than-normal water levels and flows on the Severn River during navigation hours until further notice.
In addition, flows will increase outside of navigation hours as of Wednesday, June 27, 2023, until further notice. The public should consider these overnight flows as non-navigable.
The increased flows overnight are the result of water management dam adjustments to address the higher-than-normal water levels caused by the recent precipitation.
Over the past three days, the watersheds have received over 60 millimetres of rain, which represents 75 per cent over the normal precipitation values for the month of June.
Residents and visitors should exercise extreme caution around and on the water.
