BRACEBRIDGE, ON – The owners of over 1,000 local properties affected by floods this spring could get financial relief soon.
The Town of Bracebridge is putting together a committee to deliver donations received during the disaster.
The announcement was made at the last general meeting. Councillors agreed members should be recruited from local organizations to create the 2019 Flood Relief Committee.
The town collected over $46,000 in donations, ranging as high as $10,000 from single organizations.
Anyone looking to register for flood relief can do so through the Canadian Red Cross. According to the town, only 81 properties have registered so far.
There is no deadline to apply yet as Bracebridge officials are still working with the Red Cross to figure out an appropriate date.
