The Grand River Conservation Authority ended its flood warning and flood watch for the County of Brant, Ontario, on March 16, 2026. This change comes as water levels in the Grand River have started to drop after a period of high flow.
While the immediate flood risk has passed, officials have issued a general water safety notice for the entire region. Residents should stay cautious because river levels are still high and the water is moving very fast.
The high water levels began around March 7, 2026, when warm temperatures and rain caused snow to melt and created ice jams in the river. The County of Brant had been monitoring these conditions closely during the early parts of the month.
Safety officials say that banks near local waterways can be slippery and the cold, fast-moving water remains dangerous. Families and residents are encouraged to stay away from the river-side until conditions become more stable.
