‘We are resilient’: Hay River, N.W.T., still recovering months after historic flood
Kandis Jameson remembers hearing trees on the shore of the Hay River “snapping like toothpicks” as water levels quickly rose this spring.
Months later, as winter begins, some people are still displaced and many others are working to recover. Jane Groenewegen, who owns several properties in Hay River, including the Cambridge Executive Suites hotel, said there is a “tremendous demand” for places for people to stay in town. Beyond housing, the flood has also affected Hay River’s economy, which is home to a commercial fishing industry and several agriculture operations.
Jamie Linington with the N.W.T. Fisherman’s Federation and Freshwater Fish Harvesters Association Inc., said the flood damaged and wiped away a lot of fishing equipment and destroyed fishers’ living quarters. She said assessments have come in low for the value of what was lost. “It’s going to take some time to regrow,” he said. “I don’t think the Paradise Valley is written off … but I think it’s certainly got to adapt and get some creative solutions in order to keep producing in that area.”
