Military and navy officials from across the province are helping battle rising water levels and flooding in Ottawa.
Four naval reservists from Thunder Bay have been deployed and Commanding officer of the HMCS Griffon Robert Cooke tells us he’s not sure how long they’ll be in Canada’s capital.

Thunder Bay provided personnel and not boats and equipment.
