Meadow Lake Designated for Provincial Disaster Assistance Program

We are pleased to inform residents that our application has been formally approved under the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) for the heavy rain and plow wind storm on July 18.

This approval opens access to provincial financial recovery assistance for property owners, renters, small business owners, and non-profit organizations who suffered uninsurable property damage from the storm.

PDAP is a secondary financial assistance program designed to help restore property and principal residences to pre-disaster condition when insurance coverage is unavailable. Under provincial regulations, property owners must first file a claim through their private insurance provider to obtain a formal written letter detailing their coverage or stating that the specific loss is denied.

Guidelines & Application Forms

Residents are strongly encouraged to review the official PDAP guidelines directly before applying to ensure their losses qualify under provincial rules.

Physical copies of the general guidelines and the application form are also available for pick-up at City Hall during regular business hours (M-F 8:30AM-4:30PM) and at the August 18 in-person application support session.

Application Deadline

Provincial guidelines mandate that all completed application packages must be submitted directly to PDAP within six months of the event start date. The strict submission deadline for this event is January 19, 2027.

In-Person Application Support

To assist community members in reviewing provincial criteria and navigating the application process, city staff will be hosting a drop-in support session:

Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2026
Time: 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: Council Chambers, City Hall (in the Co-op Centre at 506 3^rd Street East )

Printed copies of the official PDAP guidelines and application forms will be available on-site.
