The RCMP say a young person from Wolfville died during flooding caused by heavy rains in the Annapolis Valley on Thursday, July 11th. Police didn’t release their name or gender, but they are believed to be a young teenager. RCMP were called at 7:40 p.m. by someone reporting that the teen was pulled into a water-filled ditch at a community park on Highland Avenue and disappeared under the rushing water. Police said a group of friend were playing at the park when the flash flooding occurred. The park, behind Acadia University’s Crowell Tower, includes play equipment, a soccer pitch and a skate park. Police say that as part of the efforts, the water drainage system was diverted. The youth was found dead at about 11:30 p.m. Details:
