Storm recovery funding announced

The Province of Ontario, through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, announced today that the Township of Bonfield will receive $380,000 in support for the recovery work completed from the extreme rain and downburst last spring.

Mayor Paquette thanked MPP Fedeli and the province for the support and for offering the Municipal Disaster Recovery Assistance program. The funding will be used to offset the costs for repairing the critical infrastructure due to the extraordinary weather event.

We all thank the Public Works Crew for their hard work and dedication to the community, every day. The Team worked many hours, and at all hours of the day, during the emergency to repair the roads.
