- Canada experienced one of the worst flooding events in its history in June 2013 after torrential rain.
- Sadie Vipond grew up in Calgary along the Bow River.
- Sadie Vipond and her family fled their home during the evacuation when she was a young child; Vipond recalled it as “pretty scary.”
Why it matters: For Sadie Vipond and her family, the June 2013 flood meant displacement from their home during an evacuation. That is the passage’s clearest material consequence: one of Canada’s worst floods directly disrupted a Calgary family, and Vipond’s memory preserves that personal measure of the event.
