The “atmospheric river” that caused devastating floods and landslides in many parts of B.C. has caught Queen Elizabeth II’s attention.
Governor-General Mary May Simon shared on Twitter a message to the flood-ravaged province from the 95-year-old monarch.
The message read: “My thoughts are with the people of British Columbia as you continue to confront the recent catastrophic flooding and gradually begin the process of recovery and rebuilding.”
“I am grateful for the tireless work of the many first responders and volunteers who continue to provide comfort and support to their fellow Canadians during this difficult time.”
Several routes were wiped out by the atmospheric river in the Lower Mainland and parts of Vancouver Island.
A minimum of four people died in one of the landslides that occurred in the region as a result of the deadly storm.
