Abbotsford, B.C. mayor warns of disaster if province, feds don’t pitch in for dike repair

As the City of Abbotsford, B.C. lifts its final evacuation order, Mayor Henry Braun urged the provincial and federal governments to co-operate with the municipality and help fund dike upgrades throughout the city. Approximately $1 billion in repairs are needed, he said Friday, but the city doesn’t have — and cannot acquire — funds on that scale.
