Task force puts out latest flood stats

The province committed $50 million directly to High River to get essential services back up and running.

The province released the latest flood statistics on Wednesday and says that almost $70M in debit cards and cheques have already been distributed to Albertans.

Calgary and communities in southern Alberta were hit hard by flood waters at the end of June and the province pledged $1B in initial funding to deal with the disaster.

More than 100,000 Albertans in 30 communities were affected and the province says almost 40,000 have already received immediate support.
