Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Dec, 2025 01:35 PM

Floodwaters pushing in from Washington state are forcing more people from their properties in Abbotsford, B.C.

The city has ordered people to leave another 82 homes as water from the Nooksack River in the United States spread over the Fraser Valley, joining about 400 other property owners rushed out overnight.

North Shore Rescue says in a statement that it helped rescuers in Chilliwack, B.C., pull a group of five people and their four dogs off an island in the middle of the Chilliwack River as flood waters rose around them.

The agency says the rescue took several hours early this morning as the group and their animals had to be hoisted to safety by helicopter.
