The GRCA has been reimbursed for cleanup costs that came in the wake of the severe ice storm in December 2013.
The cleanup of hazard trees on GRCA-owned land took six months. The GRCA submitted a claim for $548,000 to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing by the December 2014 deadline.
The province reimbursed the GRCA in two payments – $192,000 this past April and the balance of $351,000 in October – $5,000 shy of the overall claim. Officials say the money is going back into GRCA reserves, from where it initially came.
