Temporary housing arrives in Merritt, B.C. for 2021 flood victims
“It was a lot of gears turning, and a lot of really smart people — past council and present council to get it done,” Goetz said.While the homes are essential in reshaping the community, there are still challenges to protecting them from another round of flooding. None of the dykes have been upgraded and the river bank remains exactly in the same state it was left after the devastating floods.
The municipality is looking to senior levels of government to approve the necessary funding to fix the banks and dykes.
