The severe Fort McMurray area flood, which ended just as the southern/central Alberta flooding was beginning, should also be covered under the scope of this article, given the article's title and the notability of the Fort McMurray area flood. Just added it to the infobox. We can lace content into the article as everything calms down so as to not distract from the effort on the current events. Hwy43 (talk) 04:29, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Something about the way the lead section reads (especially the first sentence) just makes it sound absolutely awful, but I can't think what to change to make it less awkward. Any suggestions? Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 07:37, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please remember to update the related articles (cities, geographic features, parks, buildings, rivers, Flames, Stampede, etc) when something big happens to them -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 08:06, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if it's worth noting, but several local TV channels suspended regular programming for the better part of 2 days to cover the floods. This might be the first time this has happened in Calgary (discounting coverage of international events like 9/11). It might also be worth noting that the city was not "shut down" as some media have suggested; thanks to its immense footprint, many areas of Calgary, particularly the north and northeast, were not impacted at all by any road closures, etc. 70.72.201.229 (talk) 15:02, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Editors might incorporate these reports into the article.

I think it would be nice to have a timeline of events, especially since many statements don't have dates. 117Avenue (talk) 05:46, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"...toured the flooded area on (?) and promised...". Should the date be inserted here? Respectfully, Tiyang (talk) 12:49, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article seems a little bloated with images of flood. If some are of important scenes may need additional information. Otherwise I might suggest some removal to avoid unnecessarily cluttering. Jpattiz (talk) 18:03, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure how to add this as this is more anecdotal and I'm unaware of media coverage, but during the flood emergency I was in the northeast portion of the city (region of 16th Avenue and 36th Street) and despite the mayor asking people to stay home and reports of businesses closing, etc., it was very much business as usual. Stores and malls were open, and there was a lot of traffic. I heard it was similar in other parts of the city. The point I'm making is while the media (and, now, history books) suggest Calgary as a whole was shut down by the floods and the aftermath, no such thing happened. Given the size of the city, and the fact quite a number of neighbourhoods were elevated well above the flood, there were extensive sections of the city that were unaffected by the flood and remained open for business (albeit some cross-town routes were closed due to the flood, so traffic on some roads such as the Stoney Trail ring road was heavier than usual. 70.73.90.119 (talk) 04:38, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
