Abbotsford, Merritt and Princeton applied for $1.7 billion from Ottawa ’s disaster mitigation and adaptation fund.

The federal government rejected the communities’ applications this summer .

There has been no movement since then from the federal government or an announcement of new funding.

The province has put up some money for aspects of the three communities' proposed projects, but it's a fraction of what is needed.

Experts have forecast these types of weather-driven events to become more frequent because of climate change.

And they need to be taken care of, and they need to be relocated in our community,” said Goetz . He noted that combined federal-provincial funding helped buy-out 90 properties in Grand Forks after a devastating flood there in 2018 . - Ottawa rejects $1.7 billion in B.C. flood projects, shows more funding needed: experts - B.C. releases long-awaited flood protection plan with no price tag, project priorities or timelines [email protected] x.com/gordon_hoekstra.
