In British Columbia, a mother moose crossed a highway, but one of her newborn calves got stuck on the median. As traffic backed up, a driver stepped in, lifted the calf over, and reunited it safely with its mother 🇨🇦❤️

The Bow and Elbow rivers are above safe levels, and the Calgary Fire Department has issued a boating advisory that is now in effect. Please stay off the river for your safety and for emergency responders.

High, fast-moving water, cold temperatures, and debris are creating dangerous conditions, with poor visibility making hazards harder to spot. Pathway and underpass closures along the Bow and Elbow Rivers are expected to begin this weekend.

Current outlook:

A cold wet front has brought 40-80 mm of rain across Calgary and the Bow and Elbow River catchments since Saturday evening. Some of this fell as snow at the highest elevations in the mountains.

Rain is expected to continue through Tuesday, bringing another 40-70mm of precipitation.

Rivers and creeks are expected to continue to rise from the forecasted rain, and at this time are expected to peak late Monday or Tuesday. Calgarians should be extra cautious near fast-moving rivers and creeks.

Low-lying areas and pathways may see localized flooding, but no widespread flooding is expected at this time.

As rainfall in Calgary continues, water may pool in streets and around catch basins.

A City of Calgary Boating Advisory has been issued (check https://t.co/ofeDVStr6b before going on the river).

A Provincial High Streamflow Advisory has been issued for several basins surrounding Calgary, and may be issued for the Bow and Elbow Rivers in Calgary.

How we're responding:

Some pathway closures due to increased flows expected over the next few days.

A Boating Advisory is in place (https://t.co/ADEVghRtj7).

We have lowered Glenmore Reservoir to make room for high Elbow River flows.

We are communicating regularly with Environment and Climate Change Canada, Alberta River Forecast Centre, and TransAlta to share the best available information.

Crews, equipment and materials are ready in case we need to respond.

We’re continuing to monitor rainfall and river conditions 24/7.

In preparation for flood season each year, The City completes exercises and testing of infrastructure like river outfalls, lift stations and temporary barrier deployments.

City stormwater crews are monitoring and responding to drainage concerns.

We are prepared to communicate as needed through the event, should conditions change and additional actions be required.

What you can do:

Stay safe near rivers. When the rivers and creeks rise in Calgary, stay away from the banks, including children and pets, as high flows can cause bank erosion and instability. Before going out on the river (rafting, fishing, kayaking), check https://t.co/ofeDVStr6b. If there is a boating advisory, stay off the river for your safety.

Direct rainwater away from your home. Eavestroughs and extensions should drain at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) away from your and your neighbour's home and onto a landscaped area so the water can soak into the ground.

Ensure your basement is flood resilient. When river levels are high, and/or when it rains heavily, water can enter basements. Check your sump pump and backflow valve if you have them, to make sure they are in good working order. Consider moving valuable or sentimental items to higher levels. Consider installing a water alarm to for an early alert about any water entering your basement. Check your insurance policy to see if you’re covered for groundwater basement flooding.

Help us keep an eye on storm drains. During intense rainfalls, storm drains can be temporarily overwhelmed and it may take some time for water to drain. In some areas of the city, we’ve installed a device in the storm drains to manage how fast water flows into the pipes from the storm drain that helps prevent the system from becoming overwhelmed with stormwater, avoiding water backups into basements or flooding into houses, garages and businesses.

If you see water pooling around storm drains and it hasn’t drained within 90 mins, take a photo and submit it via the 311 app or online request. This will help City crews respond on a priority basis. If safety is a concern or water is entering a building, contact 311 immediately.

High river flow season is May 15 - July 15

Rivers are running high in southern
Alberta, and a big rain is coming.

Join me for a video chat later this evening, discussing FLOOD potential. #abstorm

[Kyle Brittain @BadWeatherKyle]

Alberta FLOOD outlook:

Significant rain is on the way, and rivers are already running high. Could we see flooding?

Morgan Klaiber is born and bred from the ranches just outside of Medicine Hat, Alberta and she is in the running for SiriusXM’s “Top of the Country” contest.

I think we should give her some help! So please head on over and cast your vote for her: https://t.co/nlWVMgSFu3

Today, Christians in Alberta and around the world celebrate Easter, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the foundation of the Christian faith.

Following the reflection of Lent and Good Friday, Easter speaks to renewal, hope and the promise of new life. It reflects a belief that even in the face of loss and hardship, there is a path forward.

I extend my warmest wishes to all those celebrating this important day and hope this Easter brings love and joy to you and your loved ones.

Happy Easter.

Why is October 19th significant?

On that day in 1781, Britain's Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, handing a huge victory to American General George Washington and effectively ending the American Revolution and assuring America's independence.

Did Danielle Smith pick this date by pure coincidence???

🚨BREAKING: Mitch Sylvestre confirmed today that Alberta’s independence petition has passed the required threshold with a healthy margin, and signatures are still coming in.

Additionally, new legislation is coming that will allow scrutineers to oversee signature verification.

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

🚨BREAKING: The 177,000 signature threshold has now been passed, officially clearing the requirement for an Alberta independence referendum on October 19th.

This is a historic moment for Alberta and signature collection is still continuing.

Big time snow is expected across most of Southern & Central Alberta over the next week, with multiple rounds bringing up to 30cm of snow to some areas.

Expecting a very wet stretch of weather through at least mid-April. Goodbye drought (for now).

The Alberta Rockies snowpack continues to grow...

At this site in the headwaters of the Elbow River west of Calgary, we have more than double the snow water equivalent than we had last year at this time.

It's also the second-largest snowpack since records began in the mid 80s.

If anyone ever questions how unpredictable Alberta weather is, just show them these two photos taken at the same time in the same city, just different areas.

🚨 BREAKING

The US just sanctioned a VANCOUVER company for funding Hezbollah.

Part of a $100 million terrorist financing network.

Registered in BC since 2022.

STILL ACTIVE.

STILL LEGAL.

BC didn’t even know until the Americans told them.

Canada hasn’t sanctioned them.

Our Minister of Foreign Affairs RAN AWAY FROM REPORTERS when they asked her about it.

CANADA IS A SAFE HAVEN FOR TERRORIST FINANCING.

WTF is going on? 😭
