The Kiwanis Walkway between Algonquin College Pembroke Campus and Riverside Park has been temporarily closed due to rising levels along the Ottawa River.
City officials say water levels in Pembroke have reached minor flood stage and are expected to continue rising over the next several days as snowmelt persists further north along the watershed.
Residents requiring sandbags are asked to contact the City of Pembroke Operations Department at 613-735-6821 ext. 1409.
Officials say callers should be prepared to provide their name, address, and an estimate of the number of sandbags required.
