With power outages across the city, primarily in the downtown core, and with flood waters converging on the Calgary Municipal Building, it was up to information technology staff to keep the City online - primarily from Calgary's Emergency Operations Centre, but also from staff's own homes.

CREBNow recently sat down with the City's Heather Reed-Fenske, manager IT and Doug Hodgson, director IT and here's some of what they had to say regarding the June 2013 flood.

The one-year anniversary of the Calgary flood is upon us and the City is encouraging local communities to celebrate the spirit of Calgary on Neighbour Day June 21.

A release from the City asks Calgarians to join with their neighbours in their given community whether it be for a block party, a barbecue or a neighbourhood cleanup.
