Hey there, time traveller!

The province announced disaster financial assistance for eligible municipalities, homeowners, farms, small businesses and non-profit organizations with uninsurable losses to basic and essential property caused by this spring’s flood.
The disaster financial assistance program provides provincial assistance for certain disaster-related losses when damages from the event are widespread, are mostly uninsurable and represent a significant financial burden.
The deadline for applications is Oct. 30, a Manitoba government news release said Monday.
It said potential applicants should check with insurance providers to review their policy coverage before applying because insurable losses, such as sewer backup, are not covered by the program and some Manitobans may have already purchased overland flood insurance.
The federal government may provide financial assistance to Manitoba for costs related to the 2023 spring flood, that are expected to meet the threshold for federal funding.
When the province establishes a disaster financial assistance program that is eligible for cost-sharing with the federal government, municipalities have the option to opt into the mitigation and preparedness program to invest their cost-sharing amount into a mitigation or preparedness project.
If such a program is established for the 2023 spring flood, more information will be shared with eligible municipalities.
