Allan Joyner, director of West Carleton Disaster Relief, tells Newstalk 580 CFRA's "CFRA Live with Andrew Pinsent" that levels went up higher than expected overnight.
Joyner said residents are in need of more sandbags to build higher walls, and other homes are now being affected by floodwaters. "We're trying to maintain close to 200 that had already been sandbagged and we probably added 20 more homes overnight that became endangered by the rising levels." There is a large sandbagging operation at the Constance Bay Community Centre on Len Purcell Drive, Joyner says, where people can go to help fill sandbags. If the community centre is at capacity, volunteers will be directed to where they are most needed.
