COKL Disaster Relief Committee Severe flooding in April on the Burnt River, Black River and Gull River systems caused significant damage. The City of Kawartha Lakes has applied for provincial funding through the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP) however there is the need for local fundraising. Money raised locally will be matched two to one by the province up to a maximum of 90% per eligible claimant. The Dis- aster Relief Committee has set a fundraising goal of $137,000. To- day‘s donation from IBC brings the current total to approximately $12,500. We are grateful for this generous donation from IBC,‖ said Disaster Relief Committee Chair Gord Miller. ―It certainly starts our fundraising campaign off on the right foot! MPP Laurie Scott said that the flooding is out of people‘s minds now but that the need for assistance is real. ―The flooding had a severe impact on the people in the Burnt River, Black River and Gull River areas and they are still hurting. No amount is too small to donate.‖ Kawartha Lakes Mayor Ric McGee concurred. ―It is important for us to remember the people in our community who need our help. We have to raise the profile of the Disaster Relief Committee‘s work and Doug DeRabbie, IBC presents the cheque for $5000 to Gord encourage people to support their fundraising efforts.‖ Miller, chair of the Disaster Relief Committee.
