On June 20, 2013, Calgary experienced its largest floods since 1897 and the largest natural disaster in Canadian history at the time. As the waters rose that day, so too did the power of community.
Over 80,000 people were evacuated from 26 communities; 16 LRT stations and more than 20 bridges were closed; and over 30,000 buildings were without power.
The ripple effect impacted schools, businesses and commerce across the city. Through it all, the people of Calgary stepped up, held fast and worked together to find their way through. Today, 10 years later, we acknowledge with gratitude every citizen who stepped up to offer their help.
