City of Regina asks public to not touch flood barriers

The City of Regina is asking everyone to stay off the sandbags.

Throughout various parts of the Queen City, sandbags, hesco barriers and dikes are being used to try and keep the Wascana Creek at bay as the water starts to rise.

So with that in mind, the City is asking everyone to stay off them, even if they're in the way of where you want to go.

"There's two sides to that," said Jay O'Connor, the City's Emergency Manager. "One, we don't want anyone to fall off (and potentially hurt themselves)."

Regina's farmer's market is back to setting up tables and booths outdoor. The spring weather brings out more families.

This is exactly what Ada Bennett, the farmer's market manager, has been working towards since she took charge of it six years ago. She was involved in the downtown renewal around Victoria Park, and for the past few years has been behind the market's major growth.

She recalls the first farmer's market she was involved with having 18 customers. Now hundreds walk past the booths and tables set up along Scarth St and 12th Ave.

Potential flooding prompts City to close Regina bridge

Truck-traffic on Regina's Pinkie Road bridge will have to find a new route since the City closed the bridge in anticipation of flooding.

The flooding is another layer on top of problems with the bridge, explained the City's emergency manager Jay O'Connor. The bridge is already structurally weak right now O'Connor didn't want to take a chance on how ice and water build-up might affect it.

"Just due to their age and current condition. Pinkie Road bridge, for example, is on a replacement schedule coming on in the next few years."
