Flood mitigation work near the Baille Ard trail in CBRM will go ahead as planned. In a tight vote, councilors voted to move forward with a strategy that would see some trees cuts down, and changes to waterflow patterns that they hope will prevent mass flooding. The Thanksgiving day floods of 2016 forced people from their homes. The Cape Breton Regional Municipality when up to 225 millimeters of rain fell in the area that day. Since then, there has been little consensus on what to do to mitigate the risk in the future. Amanda McDougall is the Mayor of CBRM and she joined us to discuss this.
