Hundreds of flood evacuees returning home in agricultural zone of Abbotsford

BY The Canadian Press, Dec 9, 2021 5:31 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Hundreds more flood evacuees are returning home to the devastated agricultural zone of Abbotsford, B-C, as people in the area continue cleaning up from last month's catastrophic flooding.

Mayor Henry Braun says rapid damage assessments have been completed for houses, barns and garages in the southern Sumas Prairie, allowing officials to lift an evacuation order for 400 properties.

About 200 homes still remain under evacuation order.

Officials say people living in the Lake Bottom area of Sumas Prairie _ the last remaining area with floodwaters _ could be able to return home in the coming days.
