I have just discovered this wonderful website.
I was born in York in 1958 and have been living in Winnipeg, Canada for the last 12 yrs. A few years ago Winnipeg went through severe flooding, and a massive sandbagging effort by mostly ordinary people saved the actual city from being flooded, although outlying homes and farms were not so lucky. I would like to offer my condolences to all the people who have had their homes flooded.
Sincerely
Paul Butters
