The notice was posted Sep 02, 2026, with a stated expiry of 5:00 PM on September 3, 2026.

The notice said the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority was advising of increased potential for flooding in its river systems because severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall over a short period could cause rapidly rising water levels and localized flooding.

The archived notice identified TRCA as the agency that issues flood messages to Pickering on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources; it did not report conditions after the stated expiry.
