Nine communities across the region are getting provincial disaster recovery funding for costs associated with record flooding from last spring.

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is providing up to $6 million in funding to help with the costs incurred from the emergency response, cleanup, and repairs to damaged infrastructure.

Among the communities, Fort Frances and Kenora are eligible for funding over $1.4 million and $1.3 million respectively, while Ignace is eligible for more than $1.7 million.

The Northwest experienced record flooding last spring, which came from a combination of heavy precipitation and increased snowmelt.
