To All Members of the Carleton Community,
In response to flooding along the Ottawa River, Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency yesterday, requesting help from the Canadian Armed Forces and the province.
With significant rainfall expected throughout the coming days, the City of Ottawa continues its call for volunteers to assist with flood preparation efforts.
Carleton University is an integral part of the City of Ottawa and the greater region. We wish to assist the municipalities by relaying their calls for volunteers.
Members of our community interested in volunteering as water levels peak over the weekend are encouraged to visit the City of Ottawa’s website by clicking here or the City of Gatineau’s website by clicking here. To volunteer for other surrounding municipalities, please check their websites.
We encourage everyone to please be safe as the flood watch continues.
