Bonfield receives disaster recovery assistance funding
The Township of Bonfield is receiving up to $380,000 to help cover essential infrastructure repair costs due to flooding a year ago.
Vic Fedeli, MPP for Nipissing, says the support is provided through the Municipal Disaster Recovery Assistance (MDRA) program.
“We’re pleased to share that the Ontario government is providing up to $380,000 through the MDRA program to help the municipality offset the costs of repairing critical infrastructure,” said Vic Fedeli, MPP for Nipissing. “Today’s investment reflects Ontario’s continued commitment to helping municipalities recover from unexpected natural disasters, and to keeping our communities safe.”
Officials say on June 21, 2025, the Township of Bonfield experienced extraordinary rainfall, causing flooding throughout the municipality.
“The MDRA program reimburses the Township for the critical and extraordinary repairs to our road and infrastructure due to the storm in June 2025,” says Narry Paquette, Mayor, Bonfield Township. “The Storm damaged several roads and left residents stranded. This funding assures residents and the township that the repairs are completed and proves that working together between the community, municipality, and province, we can become more resilient to future storms.”
