ST. ADOLPHE, MAN. — Crews were out all day Sunday working to build a barrier from potential flooding in St. Adolphe, Man.
They worked to haul clay and mud to build a strong enough barrier as water crept up to Provincial Road 200.
This is the first time the town has had to build a barrier for flooding since 2013, according to the province.
A St. Adolphe resident, Naheen Khaleeli, said seeing the local park completely washed out is something she hadn’t experienced in her two years of living in the community.
“You can see the park, more than quarter of it has been washed away. We used to play here,” Khaleeli said.
Driving up to St. Adolphe in St. Norbert, side roads were washed out in parts from the rising levels of water.
