Months after devastating flooding, businesses in western Manitoba are still racing to rebuild and prepare for winter. The Westman region experienced flash flooding in June and July, with areas receiving 100 to 150 millimetres of rain in a short period, causing chaos and forced evacuations. Business owner Dan Grazier in Swan River, whose shop flooded twice this summer, is tens of thousands of dollars in the hole for repairs and is still working on restoring his building while waiting for provincial disaster financial assistance.
The province has received over 2,500 applications for assistance, with a deadline of Oct. 8 for submissions.
