Public Safety Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes of the project is to support relief to communities with re-entry post evacuation order, providing stocks and supplies (clean up kits), providing navigational supports and referrals to community groups supported by the program to assist those impacted in the return home (this will help shorten recovery times and reduce barriers and impacts). The intermediate and long-term expected outcomes are to address mental health and psychosocial impacts and supporting small, local community groups and organizations to reinforce community structures to meet demands.
