Changes coming to Disaster Recovery Assistance Program

Years of work by Minden’s Disaster Relief Committee could finally be paying off now that the province has announced changes to the current assistance program.

The committee dissolved a few months ago after they submitted a final report to local council, and the provincial government.

According to the province, the current system will be replaced early next year. The new changes will include a four month time period for municipalities to request assistance, instead of 14 days. It also says communities won’t have to fundraise in order to get matching funds from the province.
