The entire GRCA watershed remains under a flood watch, while Ayr and New Hamburg continue to have a flood warning. The UTRCA is urging everyone to stay away from the water, however they don't anticipate any major flooding this weekend.

OXFORD COUNTY - The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority does not anticipate any serious flooding at this time.

They are warning all residents to use caution near watercourses. UTRCA Communications Specialist Eleanor Heagy says the water is very dangerous right now. 

"We remind everyone that rivers, streams, ditches, and ponds are hazardous. Parents are encouraged to keep children and pets away from all watercourses and off of frozen water bodies.

The City of London Police have issued a Boating Ban for the Thames River within London.

While no major flooding is expected, low lying areas and parklands may be inundated in some areas, such as the Flats in St. Marys, as well as Harris and Gibbons Parks in London.

The Grand River Conservation Authority meanwhile has maintained a flood watch for the entire watershed. Ayr and New Hamburg meanwhile continue to be under a flood warning.
