Fraser Valley Regional District Director calls for support for flooded homeowners

CHILLIWACK — A regional district director is calling on the B-C government to help some Fraser Valley residents still suffering from the area’s historic flood two years ago.

Fraser Valley Regional District Area E director Patti MacAhonic says she’s sent the province a letter recommending a — quote — “financial solution” for six homeowners.

She says the homeowners have not been able to move forward and recover from the floods after their homes were destroyed or deemed not safe for return.

MacAhonic says the damages to their properties were not covered under private insurance, nor were they eligible for disaster financial relief.
