Flooded-out residents of Battleford who suffered damage in the recent rain storm will be able to access relief from the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program.
Mayor Ames Leslie confirmed at Monday’s town council meeting that Battleford’s application has been approved by the province. The town has been designated an eligible area under the program. Battleford made that application following a special meeting of council July 13.
This means town residents will be able to apply to cover uninsurable losses under that program, in relation to damage from the heavy rain event on July 7 and 8.
Details on how residents can apply are now posted at www.battleford.ca. Local residents have until Jan. 8, 2021 to apply. Residents can also call Town Hall at 306-937-6200 if they have any questions.
