The largest infrastructure project in Minot’s history has earned national recognition.
Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Mouse River Enhanced Flood Protection Plan received the 2020 Crown Communities Award from American City & County, a national organization dedicated to recognizing public projects and servants. Projects are judged on uniqueness, short- and long-term value to the community and effective and innovative financing.
“These two phases are vital parts of the overall $1.028 billion project to protect the City of Minot and the entire Mouse River Basin,” said Dan Jonasson, director of Public Works for the City of Minot and a director for the Souris River Joint Board. “These phases are great examples of what can be accomplished when federal, state and local entities work together to find solutions for funding, permitting, construction and maintenance.”

Our East Kootenay Emergency Management Program and emergency response personnel played a very active role throughout 2020, responding to a wide variety of emergencies.
From coordinating the response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, to responding to flooding events, providing support to the BC Wildfire Service and evacuees on the largest fire in B.C. this year (Doctor Creek), and assisting in smaller events such as the recent Cranbrook Hotel fire, our Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) teams have been busy this year.
