Council of the Town of Kindersley has agreed to submit an application to the Ministry of Government Relations to seek eligibility under the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP.)

More than two dozen private claims of flooding or other property damage within Kindersley were identified at the August 24 Special Meeting of Council prompting Council to determine that the community may have a suitable application. While not all claims have been confirmed as uninsurable as per the requirements of PDAP, the minimum requirements appear to be met to make Kindersley residents eligible for funding.

Council’s resolution identifies “substantial property damages caused by unusually excessive rainfall totaling approximately 371 mm (15 inches) between the dates of June 1 and August 23, 2016.” PDAP is a program of the Government of Saskatchewan that provides financial assistance for restoring essential services and property.

Town administration will continue to work with local insurance brokers and providers to ensure that applications are made for all eligible uninsurable claims.
