Compensation program for flood victims

The province is reviewing its compensation program for flood victims and changes may be forthcoming. Currently, victims are eligible for up to $159,208, excluding the value of the land.
Another $25,000 is available for demolition costs.

More information sessions to come

The Quebec government will be holding more information sessions this coming week:

  • Pontiac: starting at 6 p.m. at 2024 Route 148 on May 15.

There will also be temporary offices set up for residents who cannot make the information sessions.
Flood victims who need financial assistance or have questions about the forms but who can’t attend information sessions can call the province at 1-888-643-2433.
 

Cautious optimism

As of Sunday, a total of 129 municipalities were still affected by flooding in Quebec. More than 4,500 residents have been evacuated from their homes.
With water levels now receding, the City of Montreal officially lifted its state of emergency on Sunday, one week after the measure was declared.
Elsewhere in the province water levels are also decreasing.
