Public Advisory – Flood Watch (Mississagi River and Area) April 28, 2026 The Municipality of Huron Shores is issuing a Flood Watch for the Mississagi River and surrounding areas based on current watershed conditions and anticipated increases in water discharge from the Red Rock Dam. The Municipality has been advised by Evolugen that discharge rates are expected to increase, with flows currently fluctuating and anticipated to continue varying over the coming hours and days. While exact flow levels may change, recent conditions have ranged between approximately 550 and 650 cubic metres per second (cms), and similar fluctuations remain possible. While these flow levels are comparable to those experienced last week, recent rainfall may result in additional increases beyond those levels. While the Municipality receives notice of operational changes from Evolugen, weather conditions remain a key variable and can result in rapid changes to water levels and flows. Areas along the Mississagi River, including Mississagi Crescent in Iron Bridge, as well as Bright Lake, the Bolton River, and other low-lying areas throughout the municipality, are typically among the most sensitive to changes in water levels at these flow rates and may experience the greatest impacts; however, conditions can change quickly. Evolugen continues to actively monitor and manage water levels within the system. The Municipality will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as necessary. Residents are encouraged to follow updates from local agencies, including the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, for broader watershed flood messaging. Residents may also subscribe to municipal updates and monitor local media for the latest information. For questions or to report concerns, please contact the Municipal Office.
