Ice storm funding received

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.
