One year after a combination of a heavy snow pack in the Rocky Mountains and a quick and heavy rain displaced 100,000 people, and flooded thousands of homes and businesses, Alberta Premier Dave Hancock and Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi talked about the progress that has been made to prevent the next flooding, as reported by Kelly Cryderman for The Globe and Mail.

“We do believe there is very little risk of another event – certainly not another event anything approaching the scope or scale of what we saw last year,” Mr. Nenshi said. “But it’s important that we’re prepared.”
