A long-term care home in Mississauga is flooded after the torrential downpours on Tuesday.
A creek near the home overflowed and led to “extensive flooding” at Tyndall Seniors Village on 1060 Eglinton Avenue East, according to Mississauga Fire.
Peel Paramedics and Mississauga firefighters are on scene to coordinate patient care and working to evacuate 113 residents who have to be relocated.
The city building inspector has been notified and buses will be deployed as temporary shelter.
No injuries have been reported.
Firefighters were also assisting those stranded on Highway 401 as vast swaths of roadway across the GTA flooded after the area received a month’s worth of rain in a few hours.
