Hinton Flood Study - Public Feedback on Draft Maps
Official title: Hinton flood study engagement
Alberta gathered feedback on draft flood maps and reports for the Town of Hinton. The study helps identify flood hazard areas to keep residents safe and protect properties. Public input has now been used to finalize the flood study.
