If evacuations because of major flooding are necessary, that process would look different amid COVID-19, and hotel rooms could play a part if Calgarians have to leave their homes. https://t.co/QfY9AJazgJ

Once again, we would like to thank the Alberta government, Minister @RicMcIver and his staff in particular, for the tremendous work they’ve done to move this project forward and to protect the lives, livelihoods, and property of this city.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

This is fantastic news for Calgary.

In the Nation’s withdrawal of opposition, we get one step closer to the safety and security that the Springbank Reservoir will provide.

Chief Whitney, Minister @RicMcIver - thank you for continuing the dialogue towards our mutual benefit.

[Doug Schweitzer @doug_schweitzer]

MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ON SR1 - thank you to @RicMcIver and his Department for continuing to move this project forward. We need Springbank Dam to help protect Calgary from future flooding. #ableg #abpoli

It’s official! The Tsuut’ina Nation will no longer oppose the Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir project (SR1).
As one of the project’s largest and most vocal opponents, this is a significant breakthrough for the project. https://t.co/eW8ULXupjc

As we navigate these uncertain times, the lessons we learned in the flood and subsequent disasters can help your businesses recover again. #yycbiz https://t.co/8HmFdLxVIL
