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…
Residents’ insurance companies covered property damage, but wouldn’t remove surrounding debris such as fallen or half-snapped trees at risk of falling on people or homes, DeGenova said. Nine months later, debris still litters ditches and rivers surrounding Tweed.
Tweed and the United Counties of Prescott and Russell were given the largest portions of the provincial funding, with about $1.2 million each. The municipality has estimated that it will cost $2.7 million to completely clear Tweed’s river banks and ditches. Their $1.2 million will go toward debris clean up, forest regeneration and infrastructure. The ministry was well aware the extent of the damage to two particularly affected United Counties municipalities, Prevost said.The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry said the municipalities didn’t qualify for funding under the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program because the derecho “didn’t cause widespread damage to essential private property” there.
