MONT-LAURIER, Que. – Authorities say work carried out by government engineers has stabilized a dike northwest of Montreal that was at risk of bursting.
With the Morier dike in the Laurentians region deemed safe, hundreds of residents from the municipalities of Chute-Saint-Philippe and Lac-des-Écorces can return home after being forced out 11 days ago.
More coming.
