The premier of Nova Scotia has announced the province is accepting applications for financial help to deal with the damage caused by the remnants of hurricane Matthew.
Stephen McNeil says the Disaster Financial Assistance program will cover up to $200,000 per household in financial assistance, depending on the extent of the damage.
Canada’s public safety minister says Nova Scotia has asked Ottawa for federal disaster assistance and that will be forthcoming.
