Flood warning continues

The North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority says a flood warning issued last Thursday, continues for the area.

Officials say watercourses in rural areas are still rising from the recent rain and ongoing snow melt, causing flooding and road closures.

They say water levels in urban areas like Chippewa Creek are receding, but may be impacted by additional rain.
