Manitoba Government establishes Disaster Financial Assistance program

The Manitoba government is establishing a Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) program for eligible municipalities, homeowners, farms, small businesses and non-profit organizations impacted by this spring’s flooding, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Doyle Piwniuk announced on July 31. The DFA program provides provincial assistance for certain disaster-related losses that meet three criteria:

  • damages from the event are widespread;
  • damages are mostly uninsurable; and
  • damages from the event represent a significant financial burden.

Municipalities, primary residences, farms, small businesses and non-profit organizations affected by this year’s spring flooding may apply to the DFA program. The deadline for applications is October 30. For more information, click here.
