The Municipality of Callander is sharing the latest flood updates from the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA).

Current Status

A Flood Warning remains in effect for our area, including:

• Lake Nipissing shoreline (including Callander Bay)
• La Vase River (downstream of Lakeshore Drive)
• Parks Creek
• Mattawa River (downstream of Hurdman Dam)=

This means that flooding is already happening or could happen, and residents should take precautions. =

The warning is currently in effect until Friday, May 15, 2026 at 4:00 p.m., unless updated earlier. =

What’s Happening

• Water levels in Lake Nipissing remain above normal levels and are slowly declining. 
• Rivers and streams are still high due to spring snowmelt and runoff.
• A rainfall event (up to ~30 mm) is expected, which could slow improvements.
• Wind conditions may cause wave action and localized flooding along shorelines, especially in Callander Bay.

What This Means for Residents

• Flooding continues in some areas, and more could occur.
• Properties near the shoreline or low-lying areas may be at risk.
• Parks, conservation areas, and some locations may be closed due to flooding.

Safety Reminders

Please continue to take precautions:

• Stay away from shorelines, rivers, and creeks—banks are slippery and unstable.
• Keep children and pets away from the water.
• Watch for road closures or flooded areas.
• Monitor your property if you live in a flood-prone or low-lying area.
