Residents in northwest Toronto neighbourhood brace for flooding as warmer weather melts snow | CBC News
Briefly

Residents of Rockcliffe-Smythe in northwest Toronto are increasingly worried about basement flooding as temperatures rise and melting snow accumulates. The neighborhood, identified as one of Toronto's most flood-prone areas, has residents like Isa Rahamat preparing for potential water intrusion into their homes, highlighting concerns about blocked catch basins. Another resident, Jhane Farez, notes the ongoing flooding issue and the lack of action from city officials, expressing frustration over the inadequate response to their flooding problems. Despite warnings, flooding remains a persistent concern in this area built on a flood plain.
I didn't go to work today. I worked from home today because I'm worried. Because I know if it starts to melt, eventually water might come into the basement. I have some buckets downstairs and some towels ready just in case.
Nobody is listening to us. Nothing is being done. Sometimes here, it's like a little river.
