Former High River woman who survived the Alberta floods is now returning to Yellowknife after being evacuated
She was living near High River ten years ago when that community was devastated by the flooding.
Worth sees a positive side to the double disasters she’s lived through. She’s been able to help others navigate the paperwork and emotions that go with the trauma. On top of fires and floods, it was a pandemic that caused Worth and her family to move to Yellowknife to find work after being laid off in High River.
“Now that most Yellowknife residents have returned home and traffic flow is expected to return to normal by the end of the weekend, the GNWT will be ending temporary support services that were put in place to provide for a safe re-entry to Yellowknife via NWT highways,” reads a statement from the territorial website.Tow trucks will no longer be patrolling the highway and there will be no emergency fuel available.
