- Don’t Wait! The deadline for submitting a completed application is August 31, 2017.

“We know that it was quite a powerful rainstorm that hit our city last week. It caused a lot of damage to many homes. On behalf of all of Council, we are hoping that this residential disaster relief program might help those most in need to get their homes repaired. Please tell your neighbours to get the word out so that we can help.”
