Property owners along the lakes should continue to monitor their flood protection. Residents can visit www.cordemergency.ca/map to find sandbag drop off locations. Under no circumstances should sandbags be emptied onto beaches, creeks, wetlands or other watercourses as outlined in the Water Sustainability Act. The impact can destroy fish habitat and affect drinking water, infrastructure, flood control, navigation and recreational activities.
