Courtest the Town of High River

After a lengthy back and forth debate of who was responsible, High River residents will be compensated for doors damaged by the RCMP during and following the flood.

The Town of High River just made this statement via Facebook:

"HIGH RIVER, AB: The Town of High River Mayor and Council have collaborated with the Province of Alberta and the RCMP that sees The Town manage a process to compensate residents who incurred damage to their door and entry-way windows as a result of the emergency response efforts made by the RCMP and other first responders following the flood.

The Mayor and Council appreciate the work and resources both the Province of Alberta and the RCMP have put into resolving these concerns and helping to rebuild the Town of High River.

If you think the RCMP and first responders damaged your doors and entry-way windows as a result of the emergency response efforts following the flood, please call RCMP at 403.652.2356. An officer will come to your home and confirm the damage. Please have photographs of the damage or take photos. Repair the damage and submit the receipts for reimbursement to the RCMP detachment in High River. Following that, the Town of High River will process and mail the payment as quickly as possible. If you have already started a claim with the RCMP you will not be required to resubmit the claim."

More information will follow when it becomes available.
