A heavy rainfall warning is in effect for Georgina and all of York Region. Periods of heavy rainfall associated with the remnants of Hurricane Beryl have moved into the area. The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority says widespread flooding is not expected, however, the possibility for flooding in various low-lying areas of the watershed exists.

Here are some reminders on staying flood safe:

The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) Surface Water Monitoring Centre (SWMC) are forecasting that the remnants of Hurricane Beryl will bring heavy rainfall throughout the Lake Simcoe watershed early Wednesday and continue into Thursday. The total rainfall amounts are forecast to be in excess of 50 mm. Although soil conditions are dry within the watershed, intense downpours may produce significant localized runoff.

Due to inclement weather, construction has been delayed to July 16, 2024.
