Manitoba Premier, Wap Kainu, rode up his sleeves yesterday, and Peggy's first nation, joining hundreds of volunteers to stack sandbags against looming, floods. The community is bracing hard after warnings of water levels rivaling the big one from 2022. Preparations kicked off last week when officials flagged the risk, drawing from that past disaster, where about 2,000 folks had to evacuate, and hundreds of homes took serious damage. Volunteers are out in force, showing real community grit, while residents remember the chaos of before, and push to hold the line this time around. Governments at the provincial and federal levels are promising a solid long-term fix to end these repeat threats for the flood-prone area. Meanwhile, the province's latest bulletin notes, partial snow melt, are ready bumping of rivers and creeks in central and southern Manitoba, with major. Run-off set to hit next week. Eyes stay glued on those rising waters as the fight continues.

That wraps Canada News today, brought to you with AI. I'm Corey, with the story.
