City Establishes Flood Relief Fund


Thunder Bay City Council is moving a half-million dollars from their savings to a new flood relief fund.  Money in the fund will be used to cover cleaning up the homes of flood victims and covering their insurance claims.  City Manager Tim Commisso says no Provincial or Federal funds will flow until the Province declares Thunder Bay a disaster area.  Meanwhile, the Provincial Disaster Relief team came to the City Monday to asses the flood and decide if it`s a disaster area.
