Dear Parents/Guardians,
Melting snow due to above average temperatures and rainfall have combined to produce dangerously high water levels in rivers, creeks and streams throughout our district. The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority has recently issued a flood warning; and the St. Clair Region CA has posted a flood advisory.
Slippery banks along rivers, creeks and ditches, fast moving water and unstable ice can be dangerous. Even standing water may pose hazards. Both conservation authorities have produced educational resources, which include important safety information for children. View them at the links below. It is important that parents talk to their children about being safe while playing outdoors during the spring melt.
If you have any questions, please contact the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority or the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority directly. I wish to thank them for these valuable education resources, which will help to keep our children safe.
Sincerely,
Deb Crawford
Director of Education
