Severe flooding in the Sumas Prairie area east of Vancouver, nearly two weeks ago, has caused significant damage to agricultural lands, affecting crop production and loss. The incident occurred less than four months after a heatwave in June. Farmers are seeking assistance to clean up and repair the damage. Approximately 4,000 tons of stored and unharvested field vegetables are believed to be lost. In response, the federal and British Columbia governments have created a joint committee to address the flooding damage and have pledged to match donations given to the Canadian Red Cross. Prime Minister Trudeau has assured support for the province's recovery and preparation for future climate change impacts.
