Canmore, Alberta, is grappling with localized flooding due to a combination of heavy rainfall and melting snowpack. Residents, including local Kevin McDonald, are vigilant, frequently checking their basements for water, particularly recalling the severe flooding that occurred in 2013. The Bow River and its tributaries are nearing their banks, resulting in large puddles throughout the town and precarious conditions on walkways. Canmore Fire's Jason Lyon reported that both commercial and residential properties have experienced flooding, with reliance on pumps to manage the situation. Although recent cooler temperatures have slowed the snowmelt, forecasts predict warmer temperatures in the high teens for early June, which could lead to increased water levels. Lyon emphasized the importance of caution around the river, as it is currently stable but could be affected by further rainfall or snowmelt. Residents are advised to stay clear of the river to avoid potential hazards from debris and rising waters.
