Good morning everyone! One year ago today, rain-swollen rivers burst their banks across southern Alberta, prompting more than a dozen towns to declare states of emergency. The province estimated more than 100,000 people in 30 communities were affected by what Premier Allison Redford later called the worst natural disaster in Albertas history, with damage pegged at more than $6 billion. Also today in 1945, the Canadian government issued its first family allowance cheques and in 1964, Northern Dancer won the Queens Plate in Toronto. Hes the only horse to win both the Plate and the Kentucky Derby.
