HISTORICALLY LOOKING IN


Coordination Cooperation Collaboration

The 3 C’s of EM and ESS


At midnight Saturday, Nov 11, 1979, a spectacular derailment of a CP Rail freight train and subsequent explosion of a propance car resulted in a highly toxic chlorine gas leak from a ruptured tanker car. On Nov. 14, 1979, three days after a massive train derailment forced the evacuation of 250,000 residents of Mississauga and Oakville, Metro Toronto Police Constable David McKinlay, wearing a gas mask, stops motorist at Highway 10 and Pinetree Way to explain why access is prohibited. (Tibor Kolley/The Globe and Mail)


The most legendary disaster in Canada—and perhaps the worst, in terms of damage done—was the Red River flood in Winnipeg in 1950. The result of one of the most lethal combinations in Canadian weather—heavy snow followed by heavy rain—the river overflowed its banks, submerging much of the city. More than 100,000 people were evacuated.


Seventy-five thousand people had to be evacuated from Calgary alone; the whole town of High River, 13,000 strong, was under an evacuation order. The floods hit just after the city had requested a plan for flood mitigation, leaving people wishing that it had been implemented a few years earlier.
