NEWS RELEASE
TOWN OF BRACEBRIDGE
********************
The Town is in the process of establishing a 2019 Flood Relief Committee to assist in distributing donation proceeds that have been collected to support those impacted by the flooding events that occurred in April and May, 2019.

Bracebridge residents that were impacted by the recent flooding events, and are in need of financial assistance for recovery activities, are encouraged to register by contacting the Town of Bracebridge at 705-645-6319 ext. 262 and be prepared with basic information for residents of the impacted property.

The deadline for registration is July 26, 2019.

The Canadian Red Cross has been registering Bracebridge residents since the onset of the flooding events.  If residents have already registered with the Canadian Red Cross, there is nothing further that is required at this time.  Registrants will be contacted directly to advise of next steps. 

In order to best determine financial need and how to most appropriately distribute donation proceeds, the 2019 Flood Relief Committee will be developing a basic application to be completed by registrants.
