Souris Manitoba is playing host to 175 Canadian troupes, unfortunately, the reason for their presence is to try and save the town from the expected cresting flood waters of the river.
"We're (the military) exploring what assistance can be acquired, if needed, through our joint emergency preparedness program," federal Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan said Thursday in Ottawa.
"And there's, of course, our disaster assistance program, [an] after-the-fact way of assisting with funding, should events arise."
The Military have been aiding in the massive sandbagging efforts to keep the waters contained somewhat. The famous longest suspension foot bridge had to be removed with fears that the foundation will be compromised.
