Abbotsford, B-C Mayor Henry Braun says the town's flood-damage bill could reach one-billion-dollars.
Braun has spoken to both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier John Horgan and other provincial officials about the cost of rebuilding dikes, bridges, overpasses, roads and culverts.
He says he has received assurances that governments will provide whatever is needed.
Braun estimates about two-thousand of the 20-thousand head of cattle in the flooded area have died and says he's concerned about predictions another 100-millimetres of rain could fall on the town next week.
