A system that passed over the area yesterday dumped as much as 80 millimeters of rain.

Tuesday.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will arrive in Abbotsford later today to see the damage, first-hand.
He’ll also be meeting with Premier Horgan and Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth to discuss plans for federal assistance.
