Funding meant to help Ontario communities recover from extreme wind damage won’t be enough to make property and business owners whole or eliminate risks to vital infrastructure, some municipalities say.
Natural Resources and Forestry Minister Graydon Smith announced last month that the province would provide $5.5 million to 22 small municipalities affected by storms last summer, including tornadoes and a derecho - a line of intense, fast-moving windstorms - after the municipality of Tweed requested funding.
The derecho that swept across Ontario and Quebec caused $1 billion in damages, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Tweed and the United Counties of Prescott and Russell were given the largest portions of the provincial funding, with about $1.2 million each. Across the United Counties, the clear path of the storm demolished private woodlots, houses, barns and county forests, said Louis Prévost, the director of planning for the counties.
