From floods to a devastating landslide, residents in Quebec and Ontario communities are scrambling after fast-moving waters damaged and destroyed homes.

Meanwhile in New Brunswick and Manitoba, officials are on alert as bloated bodies of waters threaten nearby buildings.

Quebec

Residents in Lac-des-Seize-Iles, Que., a town northwest of Montreal, have begun a massive cleanup after a devastating landslide on April 15 rocked the community.

The landfall, which triggered a massive wave, shook the tiny Laurentian town leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

In a matter of seconds, homes and boathouses were dragged into the water, destroying decades of memories.

"It's saddening," Claude Gawish, whose family's cottage was destroyed by landslide, told CTV News.

"A lot of memories and souvenirs washed up in the water. It's pretty harsh."

In all, officials said six homes are no longer inhabitable, and about 25 boathouses and garages were damaged.

Ontario

Near Orillia, in the township of Ramara, some roads have been completly flooded after Lake St. John's water levels crested on Sunday.

"I run the taxi service here," joked Tony Howes, a Ramara resident. He told CTV Barrie on Sunday that water levels can reach as high as three feet in areas near his home.

Across other parts of the province, residents are also dealing with rising water levels.

Last week, four municipalities in eastern Ontario near the Moira River were placed under a state of emergency after heavy rains on Monday and fast-melting snow left many homes partially submerged in water.

The river's water levels have since peaked but officials warn that the fast-moving floodwaters still pose a threat to residents.

Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis said Saturday the latest flood could potentially reach record highs.

"The way the melt is going, we could even hit the 100-year level," Ellis told CTV Toronto.

Residents in the area have been sandbagging for days but despite their efforts, many homes were still affected by the flood.

"We have about 600 homes that are impacted by the flood," Terry Murphy, the general manager of Quinte Conservation, told CTV Toronto.

"We also have bridge that has now been closed. We have all kinds of roads that have been closed because the flood water is too deep to allow safe access."

Officials say floodwaters are expected to stay in the area for about a week. They are advising residents not to drink water from wells within 50 metre of the floodwaters.

North of the region, residents in Peterborough are also scrambling to safeguard their homes. The area remains under a flood warning due to rising temperatures and melting snow.

Similar conditions have caused officials in the Muskoka region to also keep an eye on water levels.

New Brunswick

In New Brunswick, officials are concerned about ice jams in parts of the province. Early on Sunday, a massive one breached the Grand Falls dam and started heading for the village of Perth-Andover.

There were concerns that the St. John River would crest, but officials say the jam later passed safely through the village.

Water levels in the community have since stabilized, and the ice jam has moved downstream to Beechwood, just south of the village, where another patch of ice is located.

"We were close to mandatory evacuation, but thankfully things started to level out," village spokesperson Justine Waldeck told The Canadian Press.

Outside of Perth-Andover, residents in Fredericton, Maugerville, Jemseg, Grand Lake, Sheffield, Lakeville Corner and Quispamsis remain on flood watch.

According to the province, water levels are expected to remain high for a few days.

Manitoba

In Manitoba, residents are bracing for a potential flood as water from the ice-choked Assiniboine River is threatening to spill over.

The province said Sunday the river remains under a high water advisory, from Holland to Portage la Prairie, due to potential ice jams.

"The ice cover in Winnipeg remains strong and, in general, is causing levels to be two feet higher than they would be under open water conditions," Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation said in a statement.

High water advisories have also been issued for streams in eastern Manitoba, east of the Red River and south of the Winnipeg River.

The province also warned that a "significant snowpack" combined with a rapid snow melt and the potential for ice jams may result in these bodies of water cresting.
