Eight communities in northwest Saskatchewan were recently approved for assistance under the Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program.
The Town of Spiritwood, Resort Village of Pebble Baye, rural municipalities of Leask, Shellbrook and Blaine Lake, and villages of Canwood, Shell Lake and Medstead, will share funding from the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority totalling nearly $94,000. The grants for the communities will cover a variety of flood protection activities including clearing snow and debris from culverts, channels and ditches, repairing dykes, building up roads and replacing culverts, sandbagging and pumping equipment.
"I am pleased that government is able to assist these communities with their flood protection plans," Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Watershed Authority Dustin Duncan said. "By working proactively we will reduce the risk of flood damage this spring."
"These proactive measures are good news for the families, businesses and communities in northwest Saskatchewan," Rosthern-Shellbrook MLA Denis Allchurch said. "Many people will be relieved to know that efforts are underway to help protect their homes and other property in the area from spring flooding."
The $22 million Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program provides technical and financial assistance to communities and individuals to protect homes and permanent structures against flood damage in 2011. Due to a wet fall and above-average snow accumulation, the risk of flooding during the spring runoff is higher than normal. Saskatchewan Watershed Authority provides 50 per cent of the estimated costs for temporary works, 75 per cent for permanent works and 85 per cent for farm yards.
Further details about the Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program and the spring runoff forecast are available at Saskatchewan Watershed Authority regional offices or on the province's flood website at www.saskflood.ca.
