Attention Flood Affected Property Owners

Following the significant rainfall accumulations and storm conditions experienced in our community this week, the province is investigating whether this abnormal rainfall event will qualify for the Province of Manitoba’s Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) program.
Property owners and residents who experienced uninsurable storm related damages are asked to follow the advice provided on the Province’s website: www.gov.mb.ca/emo/dfa/residence.html and complete an application form to request disaster financial assistance funding. Manitoba will use this information to determine if a financial assistance program will be declared.
If you have experienced damage to your property as a result of recent heavy rainfalls:
  • Take pictures of the damages and any repairs you make
  • Keep detailed records of any repairs (invoices for labour, materials, contracted work, etc.)
  • Contact your insurance provider to verify whether the damages are eligible for insurance. If a DFA program is established, you will need to have your insurance provider complete an Insurance Declaration Form (found on the Province’s website)
  • Fill out an application for Disaster Financial Assistance at https://forms.gov.mb.ca/dfa-application/ OR Contact Manitoba EMO at 1-888-267-8298 or emo@gov.mb.ca to request a paper or electronic copy of a DFA application
Through the evening and night of Monday, September 16th and the morning of Tuesday, September 17th, 2024, the region experienced an abnormal amount of rain.
Due to the saturated ground conditions, and the amount of rain that fell during this time, significant overland flooding occurred as drains and ditches were either at capacity or over capacity and spilling over their banks, with water levels still rising on September 19th, 2024, in certain areas.
For further information about Disaster Financial Assistance, please visit the Province of Manitoba’s website ( https://www.gov.mb.ca/emo/dfa/index.html ).

Changes to Fire Protection Services

As of January 1, 2024, there have been some changes related to fire services coverage areas within the RM. As shown on the fire coverage map, areas previously serviced by the Steinbach Fire Department adjacent to or south of the PR 311, will now be covered by the La Broquerie Fire Department.

Properties north of the PR 311 previously serviced by the Steinbach Fire Department are now covered by the Hanover Fire Department’s Blumenort Hall.  All other properties are covered by the same departments as in years past.  These changes either maintain or improve response times, and ensure that all who live in the RM of Ste Anne have optimal fire protection services.

If you have any questions or concerns, or would like more information, please contact the RM office (204) 422-5929.
