Flood compensation fund for First Nations delayed due to deficient claims
Insurancebusinessmag | January 09, 2019
While a Manitoba court last year approved a $90 million settlement to First Nations residents affected by the 2011 flooding, lawyers representing the affected homeowners are looking to delay the payouts due to an alleged deficiency in the residents’ claims. An estimated 7,000 people from four First Nations in Manitoba ��� Lake St. Martin, Dauphin River, Little Saskatchewan, and Pinaymootang could be eligible for up to tens of thousands of dollars in compensation.
