Rain event June 20, 2022: City Council resolves to seek provincial approval to designate Saskatoon an Eligible Assistance Area
July 25, 2022 - 8:13am
At today’s July 25 City Council meeting, Council resolved to submit a Request for Designation to the Province to designate Saskatoon as an Eligible Assistance Area under the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP). This program provides financial assistance for restoring essential services and property as a result of substantial damages caused by excessive rain resulting in flooding as was the case on June 20, 2022, in Saskatoon.
The PDAP covers uninsurable damage to individual properties caused by severe weather events. It is the Administration’s understanding that damage caused by excessive amounts of rain on June 20, 2022 would qualify. Once Saskatoon is designated as approved for financial assistance by the Province - the Province of Saskatchewan will then arrange for the claims to be adjusted and make payments where appropriate.
To recap: The City will issue further information on how Saskatoon residents can apply for PDAP assistance once Saskatoon is approved as an Eligible Assistance Area. The required application forms will then be made available online through the Province and will also be available at City Hall.
