A string of thunderstorms slammed right into the National Capital Region on Canada Day, as 118 millimetres of rain fell from the sky. The endless downpour cancelled a string of Canada Day activities and left over 3,200 basements flooded. Less than a week later, lots of basements are still waterlogged. In fact, many are still waiting to hear from their insurance provider about the next steps they should take. Is there any way that homeowners and businesses can expedite that process? And in the case of a significant weather event, what should you do if you’re waiting around in a waterlogged property? Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Rob de Pruis in Hour 2. He is the National Director of Consumer and Industry Relations at the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Then, we check in with Knoxdale-Merivale councillor Sean Devine, who represents one of the city’s hardest-hit areas.
