PUBLIC NOTICES LA RONGE

Public Notice

As you are all aware, the recent rain storms of July 20 and 21, 2011 dropped a large amount of rain in a short period of time within our area, which resulted in an increase to our already saturated ground water levels.

We are aware that many of the residents of La Ronge have experienced ground water flooding and damage to their basements and property. The Town of La Ronge is in the process of applying for area designation to obtain access to funding for its residents through the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP), which would help the residents of La Ronge with the cost of some of these damages.

What we are asking residents and businesses (if applicable) to do at this time, is to document the extent of the damage you have received with pictures and to obtain a letter from your personal insurance provider which would state that ground water damage is not covered under your policy.  These items will form a crucial part of your application to obtain funding assistance through PDAP.

Once the Town of La Ronge has obtained area designation, we will be able to provide more information on the individual application process itself. However, until such time, we are requesting that residents gather the information listed above, so you are prepared for when it comes time to filling out your PDAP application.

For further information on the PDAP program, please refer to the following website: www.cpsp.gov.sk.ca/pdap
