According to Public Security Minister Genevieve Guilbault, approximately 230 buildings are flooded in the town. Thirty-six people have had to leave their homes and six roads have been affected by the rising waters of the Chaudiere River
Quebec’s Beauce region has so far been the hardest hit by spring flooding affecting many parts of the province, Public Security Minister Genevieve Guilbault said Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Guilbault toured downtown Beauceville, located 90 kilometres south of Quebec City. She told reporters about 230 buildings are flooded in the town. Thirty-six people have had to leave their homes and six roads have been affected by the rising waters of the Chaudiere River.“Many regions across Quebec have been affected,” she said, “but it’s really here that’s most critical.”
He said sunny weather on Wednesday will “stabilize” the flooding for a while but a new system bringing more precipitation and warm weather – which will increase snow melt – by Thursday risks causing more problems. “We will see how the river reacts,” he said. He said authorities should also be monitoring the water levels of the Ottawa River close to the Montreal area, as up to 50 millimetres of rain are expected to fall in that region by the weekend.
