Washington state, B.C. officials reach agreement to develop flood prevention plan
Leaders from Washington state and British Columbia say they have reached an agreement to work together on redeveloping a flooding prevention plan and response for the Nooksack River.
Rising water levels in the Nooksack contributed to flooding on the Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford and resulted in billions of dollars of damage to the province’s agriculture industry. B.C. has budgeted $1.5-billion over the next three years on recovery supports for people and communities impacted by the floods, and Premier John Horgan says having both U.S. and Canadian perspectives will help.
