In the days leading up to June 20, 2013, Alberta, Canada, experienced heavy rainfall that triggered catastrophic flooding described by the provincial government as the worst in Alberta's history. Areas along the Bow, Elbow, Highwood, Red Deer, Sheep, Little Bow, and South Saskatchewan rivers and their tributaries were particularly affected. A total of 32 states of local emergency were declared[4] and 28 emergency operations centres were activated[5] as water levels rose and numerous communities were placed under evacuation orders.[6]
Four people were confirmed dead as a direct result of the flooding and over 100,000 people were displaced throughout the region. Some 2,200 Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) troops were deployed to help in flooded areas. Preliminary estimates suggest damage from the flood could be between C$3?5 billion. Receding waters gave way to a mammoth cleanup of affected areas, aided by a spontaneous volunteer campaign in which many home owners were assisted by complete strangers.

Thank you, but it was not my idea. I just participated with two works in this project dedicated to Alberta Flood. This collage is a group work of many artists from Alberta. The group of artists created seven panels with a symbols of our province - Wild Rose, all money from sales went to Canada Red Cross to support people who have been affected by flood. I am glad you like this idea and works!
