It’s been nearly five months since Hurricane Fiona disrupted lives in southwestern Newfoundland.

But through the anguish and loss, a community has come together to help one family preserve precious memories. NTV’s Marykate O’Neill has this story.

Residents on the southwest coast are still recovering from Hurricane Fiona. 

While progress has been made towards helping displaced homeowners get their lives back in order, considerable work remains to be done. NTV’s Don Bradshaw has the latest on clean-up efforts.   

The province has provided an update regarding hurricane Fiona relief efforts.

Beginning next week, government officials will provide some property owners with information relating to their financial compensation package. The process will continue into the New Year with packages being issued to property owners as they are received and processed through the emergency services division.

Property owners will be contacted directly when their financial compensation package is available for review. The hurricane Fiona response line and email will be active during regular office hours throughout the holiday season.
