A remote community in northern Manitoba, accessible by a single road, is panicking after rising flood waters threatens to wash away their bridge.
Officials in the community declared a state of emergency on May 17.
On Tuesday, they are bracing for the worst.
Our village (Gitanyow) B.C. Lost both bridges back in 1978 due to flooding. Trees were felled to make walking bridges by the south entrance. This happened because of run off from 6′ of snow melting. Never had snow like that again.
