Completely surrounded by agricultural land (mostly corn fields), the town is centred on the intersection of two main provincial highways.

Heavy flooding again affected the town on 8 April 2014, when light rains and abruptly mild temperatures resulted in the rapid melting of a large volume of snow in a short period of time.

The elevated railbed passing east–west through the town forms an artificial berm, impeding the flow of meltwater runoff from north to south.

With only a couple of culverts to let the runoff go under the railbed, they were quickly overwhelmed and many basements north of the tracks were flooded.
