I cancelled for Canada day and likely another week at least… thanks for the update and sensible advice. It is not family fun time on the river right now.
Our crews have conducted multiple water-related rescues in the past week. Due to recent heavy rainfall, the North Saskatchewan River is currently unpredictable, with dangerously high water levels and fast flow rates.
Important Safety Reminders:
🚫 The river is currently unsafe for all watercraft.
🚷 Please maintain a safe distance from moving water and eroded, unstable banks.
🐕 Keep pets leashed near the river and stormwater ponds at all times.
Complex river rescues put our first responders at significant risk. Please help keep everyone safe by staying back and staying dry.
