Manitoba Flood Recovery Program Launch | Winnipeg News

Manitoba’s launching a major new flood recovery program for homeowners and renters hit hardest by June and July’s record rains—areas soaked with over 200mm of water, wrecking homes, farms, and businesses. Unlike past aid, this one offers one-time grants even if insurance falls short. The Canadian Red Cross is on the ground in Swan River and Swan Valley West helping with insurance and financial applications—and the province is matching every dollar donated, up to $15 million. Over 100 households (250+ people) are still under evacuation orders and seeking emergency help. Eligible communities stretch from Roblin and Swan River to Stonewall and St. Andrews. Meanwhile, the existing disaster aid program has already received 1,800 applications. Winnipeg residents can also access disaster aid plus a rebate for backwater valves to stop future basement floods.
