You may contact the disaster finance assistance office at PEP.Funding@gov.bc.ca or by phoning 1-888-257-4777
“Eligible applicants will be contacted by a an evaluator who will visit you to review the damage caused by the flooding and complete the evaluation,” said Molendyk.
“It will be helpful if you are able to produce photographs and other documentation to support your claims.”
Much of the flooding occurred in Ashton Creek and along the Shuswap River.
