The area’s flood watchdog is continuing to keep an eye on the level of Lake Superior saying it remains “well above average.”
The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority says due to the higher than average level “there continues (to be) a heightened risk of shoreline flooding, beach submersion and wave driven erosion along some reaches of the shoreline” in the area.
The LRCA indicates the latest information they have received tells them the level of Lake Superior is 31 centimetres above the average for the beginning of May.
However it still remains lower than it was last year at this time and lower than the record set in 1986.
