The lack of provincial disaster compensation for those residents who lost secondary homes has left a lot of frustration in Johnsons Landing.
RDCK Chair John Kettle says despite numerous attempts to get some sort of financial relief from government it was a case of the legislation being lacking.
The RDCK will propose a resolution at next month’s Union of BC Municipalities Convention calling for the creation of a BC disaster fund.
Kettle says it’s terrible that those property owners still have to pay tax and even mortgage payments even though their homes were swept away.
