REGINA – Officials in Saskatchewan are warning that flooding is expected along the South Saskatchewan River in the days to come, and that this will be a ‘significant event’ for the province. It is also expected that at least one Saskatchewan community will be evacuated.
The Water Security Agency says we’re seeing record inflows from Alberta that’s pushing more than 6000 cubic metres of water per second into the South Saskatchewan River and Lake Diefenbaker. The water levels are expected to peak on Monday.

The WSA is proactively increasing outflows from Lake Diefenbaker to try and mitigate the impact of this event.
There is also a “major” concern near Cumberland House downstream of where the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers meet. The Ministry of Government Relations is beginning the evacuation process for Cumberland House as flows are expected to reach the community early next week.
