Province creating flooding task force

TORONTO — Ontario is creating a task force on improving the province’s resilience to flooding.
Premier Doug Ford and Natural Resources Minister John Yakabuski say in a statement that floods over the past few weeks have had devastating effects on Ontario communities.
They say Ontarians can’t endure that every year and something needs to change.
The task force will consult with municipalities and other stakeholders on how to better plan for flooding and reduce the impacts of it.
