Municipal Agriculture Disasters
July 5, 2023
Things to know about Municipal Agriculture Disaster Declarations.
A common misperception is that a municipal declaration of an agricultural disaster will influence a provincial declaration or access to funding supports. This is simply not the case. Municipal declarations bring awareness to an issue in a specific area of the province, but they do not trigger a provincial declaration or access to any funding to support the issue.
A municipality does not need to declare an Agriculture Disaster for their farmers to participate in any resulting federal or provincial programs triggered by extreme weather events like drought or excessive moisture.
Range Road 150 will be closed from Township Rd 64 to Hwy 61 for some rail crossing repairs on Monday June 22, 2026. Please use an alternate route.
