The ice jam at the mouth of the Smoky River did not move overnight. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely with the Province and other partners. At this point, it remains a waiting game.

The Town of Peace River has declared a State of Local Emergency due to the potential for flooding of low-lying areas as river break-up continues.

This step gives the Town additional authority to act quickly and take any necessary measures to protect residents, property, and critical infrastructure.

We are in a high-risk period of the spring break-up. If you live in low-lying areas (Lower West Peace, Downtown, North End, Heart River, Pat’s Creek), you need to be ready now.
