This year's flooding in Ottawa and Gatineau is officially the worst on record in some areas along the Ottawa River, with more records set to fall as the river keeps rising over the next few days. The Ottawa River Regulating Committee, which controls reservoir levels along the length of the river basin, said levels are expected to peak in Ottawa and Gatineau on Tuesday and Wednesday. Michael Sarich with the Ottawa River Regulation Secretariat gives a Monday morning update. (Its expected peak has dropped by 10 centimetres.) Britannia in Ottawa is at 60.55 metres, up 12 centimetres from Sunday morning, and is expected to rise another 30 centimetres to a peak of 60.85 metres on Tuesday.
