In an update Sunday regarding the devastation of post-tropical storm Fiona in the Atlantic provinces, federal officials confirmed that the Canadian Armed Forces are already on the ground in several provinces to assist and are on their way to others.
Around 100 CAF troops for each of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador are being deployed or are already on the ground, assisting with cleanup efforts, she said, around three platoons per province. “The government of Canada stands ready to assist provinces in the cleanup and recovery efforts that will take place in the coming days and weeks,” he said.
Through this program, provinces can make requests for funds, but provinces have “the primary lead” on identifying those who need aid. “Living in coastal communities, we know what can happen, and tragically, the sea has taken another soul.” “Last night, practically the entire island had no power,” he said, adding that some regions are slowly regaining that power.In Nova Scotia, reports of serious injuries are minimal, according to Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.
