CHETWYND, B.C. – Heavy rainfall has forced a town in northeastern B.C. to declare a state of local emergency and has shut down a key highway in the region.
Chetwynd, B.C., mayor Merlin Nichols says residents need to take measures to make sure their families, structures and livestock are all safe as rain continues to pour in the area.
