The Calgary Fire Department has issued an activity and perimeter ban for both the Elbow and Bow rivers effective immediately, due to the extremely unsafe conditions.
High water levels have increased flow rates and debris, and are a public safety concern.
The fire department’s Brian McAsey tells 660News, Calgarians are advised that the rivers are currently unsafe for any type of activity.
The perimeter ban, issued in the name of safety and under the authority of the City of Calgary Bylaw 37M84, means that any and all activities near or on the water are restricted until further notice.
The bylaw will be strictly enforced.
