Fort McMurray flood mitigation scheduled to be complete by 2023

Fort McMurray is more prepared for a flood than ever before, says a top official with the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. All work on permanent flood mitigation is expected to be completed by 2023, Matthew Hough, the municipality's deputy chief administrative officer, told council Tuesday. "We are a more resilient community," Hough said, adding that he was struck by how much was accomplished this year.
