Thanks to Hydro One's Ice Storm 2025 Recovery Grant, 50 indigenous communities and municipalities, including the County of Haliburton and the Township of Minden Hills, will receive up to ten thousand dollars to support local recovery efforts and bolster emergency preparedness.
Minden Hills declared a state of emergency that lasted long after the initial storm and subsequent power outage. That declaration made the municipality eligible for provincial aid. With the additional grant monies from Hydro One, Mayor Bob Carter says the emergency infrastructure in the municipality can now be enhanced. He says the money is appreciated given that it lifts the financial burden off the backs of local taxpayers.
CanoeFM spoke with Mayor Bob Carter recently about how the Hydro One grant has already had an impact on the township.
