All roads are open, with the exception of 43 Street between 48 Ave and 49 Ave. All trails are open, with the exception of the shale trail between Spruce Drive and Ross St. If you come across an area with standing water, please find alternate trail routes and report to www.reddeer.ca/ReportAProblem.

Residents may notice an increased amount of water in storm ponds. These are an important mechanism in helping to collect excess water from the system and they will drain over time. Because of changing water levels and poor water quality, stormwater ponds are not for recreation. Swimming, wading and boating of any type is dangerous and not allowed.

Learn what to do if you experience flooding here: reddeer.ca/flood.
