Cumberland House faces flooding

Jun 20, 2011 | 12:07 PM

A Northern Saskatchewan community is watching the nearby water levels very closely.

A public meeting took place in Cumberland House this morning to discuss flood concerns.

The only road in and out of the community is nearly impassable — only light trucks are being allowed on Highway 123.

Three giant berms are being constructed to keep the water at bay.
