Record high Lake Huron water levels over the past few years have resulted in significant toe erosion and oversteepening of the shoreline bluffs. In addition, seasonal rainfall and snowmelt have saturated the land and softened the clay till bluffs, making some areas along Lake Huron prone to collapse. These destabilizing conditions will likely lead to an increase in erosion through slope failures, slumping and gully erosion.

The Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program helps Ontarians ‘get back on their feet’ after a natural disaster. ACW provided the ministry with information to assess the damage sustained as a result of the tornado on September 7, 2021. The ministry’s assessment process is now complete. No areas were identified in your municipality where there was costly and widespread damage to eligible private property, that would not be covered by insurance.
