Torch River declares local emergency due to road failures Apr 10, 2017 12:23 PM

UPDATE: Torch River Reeve Louise Nicklen confirmed the state of emergency was declared due to road closures restricting access to many parts of the RM. The area is prone to annual flooding, she said, but this is the worst she has seen.

Nicklen said RM crews are hard at work repairing the damaged roads, and asked for patience while the work is completed. She would not speculate how long the state of emergency will last, but said more updates will be released as the situation progresses.
