Coun. Raj Dhaliwal wants to reinstate a city program that provided rebates to help replace hail-damaged rooftops with more resilient material.

The $ 3.25-million rebate program was discontinued a year later after it was quickly oversubscribed.

A record-breaking hailstorm ripped through north Calgary on Aug. 5 , shredding vinyl siding, peppering rooftops and smashing vehicles.
