WATER EVERYWHERE-KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER

Spring can bring flooding in many parts of Canada. This year with the amount of rainfall in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, it is flooding in many places. The GTA has received more rain in a few days which is the normal average for all of May. The Toronto Islands are flooded with a ferry on standby in case the residents need shelter. The Don Valley Parkway with the raging Don River is at risk of closure. East of Toronto in the Bowmanville, sand bagging is occurring to try to fend off Lake Ontario. Suburbs of Ottawa are facing flooding. The Gatineau in
Quebec as well as the islands south of Montreal. Water everywhere. I even had some areas of my basement with some problems. It will be fixed in the next week or so with stone and eaves trough fixing happening.  The good news is the rain promised for today Saturday has held off! So a piece of advice- just keep your head above water!
