Bracebridge is gearing up for the spring melt after a winter of heavy snowfall and persistent cold. With rising temperatures, residents in flood-prone areas are urged to take precautions—clearing snow from foundations, checking sump pumps, and securing valuables.
Officials warn to stay away from fast-moving water, as melting ice and rising levels can be dangerous.
The Ministry of Natural Resources reports that most area lakes are at normal levels, but water management efforts continue.
