Sustained rain during the last two days led to a number of road closures in the Cowichan Valley due to flooding.
Canada Avenue, from the Sherman roundabout to Beverly Street, was shut down Monday, as well as sections of the nearby Philip and Mary streets largely due to Holmes Creek overflowing its banks.
By Tuesday morning, Canada Avenue remained closed, but Mary and Philip streets were reopened, except for a portion of Philip Street that joins Canada Avenue.
