Hold Onto Your Rain Boots: Flood Warning Still in Effect Across Crowe Valley

The Crowe Valley Conservation Authority (CVCA) is keeping its boots on the ground—quite literally—as a FLOOD WARNING UPDATE remains in effect for the region, issued at 10:00 AM on April 6, 2025 until further notice.
While Mother Nature has taken a small step back in terms of rainfall, she’s not quite done playing with the watershed yet.
According to the CVCA, the recent sprinkle of precipitation wasn’t a big player, but the melting snow in the northern parts of the watershed continues to feed water into the already overflowing system. Thankfully, colder temperatures expected over the next few days could slow the melt and bring some much-needed breathing room to affected areas.
Still, the water is rising—slowly, but steadily. The Crowe River’s main stretch is swelling, and while tributaries like Beaver Creek and the North River are calming down, the overall threat isn’t over. CVCA officials believe the watershed might reach its peak within the next 24 to 48 hours—if the skies cooperate and avoid further downpours.

Municipalities, emergency services, and local residents are urged to stay alert and prepared—especially in known flood-prone zones. CVCA has also issued a heartfelt (and stern) reminder: keep children and curious adventurers away from rivers, lakes, dams, weirs, and ice-covered surfaces.
Springtime streams may look playful, but they’re hiding powerful undercurrents that could sweep away the unaware.
The CVCA team is monitoring the situation around the clock, ready to respond and provide updates as conditions evolve. Residents with concerns are encouraged to reach out to General Manager Tim Pidduck or Water Resources Supervisor Neil McConkey at 613-472-3137.
