State of emergency has been lifted in the Crowsnest Pass.

Kudos to the people on the front line who ensured we did not end up in the terrible situation that other communities see themselves in. A lot of people worked very hard and hopefully they get the credit they deserve. All in all we got off pretty lucky.

We did get off lucky. I've always thought this was one of the best places to be if our infrastructure was ever compromised.
Thank you....to all on the front lines....who kept a bad situation from becoming worse.
Let's send out some prayers for the people downstream.......
I just wanted to thank everyone involved with our situation yesterday. The power line fell over across from our house, and within minutes all emergency were there. It was awesome. Two hours later our power was back, and 2 more hours later shaw was returned. Thanks for your efficient service. I appreciate it.
I appreciate the front line workers. Our current and past MLAs deserve mention for their efforts:
Alberta could have reduced flood damage, critics say - Government failed to act on report shelved after disastrous 2005 flood
"The government commissioned the Provincial Flood Mitigation Report following floods in southern Alberta in 2005 that were then considered the worst natural disaster in the province’s history.

Completed in November 2006, the report made 18 recommendations. But, inexplicably, the report was shelved for nearly six years and was only publicly released on a Friday before a long weekend in late July 2012.

Hansard, the official record of the Alberta legislature, shows now-former southern Alberta Tory MLA Evan Berger asked about the status of the report twice in 2008 — on May 26 and June 3. Wildrose MLA Pat Stier asked again on May 30, 2012, while accusing the government of failing to act on the report.
...
“The flood plan was to mitigate one-in-100-year disasters,” Griffiths told CBC News. “We’re talking about a one-in-1,000-year disaster.” "
How often will these disasters happen? 2005 was called a one-in-200-year flood.
Just a reminder to everyone to get their taxes paid this week, (if possible!) to avoid those nasty, outlandish penalties.
