The Alberta Flood Mitigation Symposium

On April 29th there will be a Flood Mitigation Symposium at the BMO Centre in Calgary. We anticipate that there will be information presented that will be of great interest to flood impacted residents.  Please continue to contact representatives in the Government of Alberta to advocate for this mitigation. Minister Robin Campbell of ESRD is now the Minister in charge of mitigation projects. His constituency office contact information is west.yellowhead@assembly.ab.ca .

“By hosting a symposium on flood mitigation, the Government of Alberta is taking action to make sure we are prepared for future flood.
