Mansfield still under a state of emergency

In the municipality of Mansfield-et-Pontefract, a state of emergency is still in effect, according to the municipality in order to avoid any future risks. Given the decline in water levels on the Ottawa River and the Coulonge River, the municipality has seen demands for sandbags decline considerably.

To help residents affected by this disaster, the municipality has confirmed that information sessions to educate people about the procedures to follow for future reimbursement will take place soon at a date yet to be determined.

On a side note contrary to several rumours reported, the Félix Gabriel Marchand covered bridge was never at risk during the flooding.
