Ontario: provide funding to rebuild the municipality of Leamington

Leamington was just hit by the worst storm in decades. Unprecedented flooding swept away roads, 14-foot-high waves knocked over trees, gutted homes and caused record damage. [1]

Our community is reeling. Residents are facing tens of thousands of dollars in property damage and the city will need to fix its infrastructure.

We need financial support from the provincial government to rebuild, prevent future destruction and keep us safe from fallout when the next storm hits.

The mayor of Leamington is already asking for funding from Ontario, but a huge petition teeming with signatures backing him up could push decision makers over the edge and get them to provide funding. Especially now in this election cycle, when the Liberals are more susceptible to public pressure.

All signs are pointing to more and more extreme weather systems, and Leamington needs to ready. Add your name to demand the provincial government provide funding to the municipality of Leamington as well as the residents affected by the storm to fix and prevent damage to our roads, homes and public spaces, and keep us safe, before another storm hits.
