Mattawa Mayor Dean Backer has said, “We still have work to do and people to help!”
Information will be available to those affected by the Mattawa spring flooding. Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli announced a provincial flood assistance information session will be held in Mattawa Thursday at 6:30pm at the Mattawa Council Chambers.
“Our number one priority is the safety of the public and the protection of our communities. Our government is committed to protecting what matters most – and that includes protecting our homes, businesses, and infrastructure that keeps our economy moving. We continue to deploy all resources at our disposal to help Ontario families,” said Fedeli.
Staff from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will give a presentation on the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program, including information on eligibility criteria, support documentation requirements, and how to apply.
After the presentation, residents will have an opportunity to ask questions of staff from both the ministry and MPP Fedeli’s office.
Resources can also be accessed online at www.ontario.ca/disasterassistance for program guidelines, FAQs and application forms.
Application assistance and questions can also be emailed to [email protected] or call 1-844-780-8925.
