VIDEO - Gardiner Dam spillway roaring with life

The Gardiner Dam spillway down by Lake Diefenbaker was opened up by the Water Security Agency heading into the July 3-5 weekend.

The Gardiner Dam spillway down by Lake Diefenbaker was opened up by the Water Security Agency heading into the July 3-5 weekend.  This means that the South Saskatchewan River is expected to see a sizable increase in levels, as much as three to five feet.

The public is advised to be extra cautious on the lake this weekend and be aware of the rising waters, and to stay clear of the spillway.

Check out this video to see the roaring, foamy spillway come to life.
