Ongoing Flood Warnings Across Northern Ontario
Flood warnings remain in effect for parts of northern Ontario, including the Lake Panache area.

The flooding has been exacerbated by recent weather patterns, including sleet, showers, and even flurries forecasted for Mother's Day weekend in the northeast.
