Funding
City of Merritt Mayor Mike Goetz, with the support of the Flood Mitigation Department launched an e-petition (e-5135) calling on the Government of Canada to support the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund (DMAF) or a similar program to assist small communities impacted by disasters.
The petition garnered over 661 signatures, demonstrating strong community support for federal flood mitigation funding.
With the election, there are new processes that the team will navigate to ensure your voices are heard.
This funding is critical for implementing a comprehensive dike system outlined in the 2022 Council Approved Flood Mitigation Plan, designed to protect Merritt from future flooding events. The petition will give residents, stakeholders, and supporters the opportunity to make their voices heard in Parliament, advocating for federal assistance to ensure the safety and resilience of our community.
