Red River expected to spill its banks in Manitoba this spring as flood outlook worsens

Red River expected to spill its banks in Manitoba this spring as flood outlook worsens

Provincial flood forecasters raised the flood risk for the Red River from moderate to major on Wednesday, thanks to major snowstorms in recent weeks south of the border.
