Frustrations are rising along the Chemainus River as fall rains approach. North Cowichan residents have been waiting to see growing gravel banks across the river removed, to lower the risk of the devastating flooding of the last two falls, but are losing hope of it happening in time.
Posted: Sep. 12, 2022 6:12PMResidents who live near the Chemainus River are worried that floods that damaged the area in previous years will happen again.
“It’s frustrating. The gravel bars are getting larger and larger and they’re getting pushed down further and further,” said Allingham. Yet, according to residents, they haven’t seen any action to remove the growing gravel bars in the river, at the same places where some of the worst flooding unfolded the past two years in a row.CHEK NewsletterSign Up
