Community and Individual Flood Protection

The Individual Flood Proofing Initiative (IFPI) and Financial Assistance for Cottage Owners (FACO) programs were initiated in response to the 2009, 2011 and 2014 flood events. Projects consist of raising buildings on new raised foundations or elevated pads, diking buildings, or moving buildings to areas that are not at risk of flooding. Manitoba provided funds for the flood protection of an additional 667 individual properties with grant funding of $25.6M.
