Princeton man denied 2021 B.C. flood relief over his driver’s license
A Princeton man was denied flood relief following the 2021 disaster, because of a dated driver’s license, and is still for waiting for help after filing an appeal with the province nearly a year ago.
Perera previously lived and rented a home in Surrey. He took possession of his Princeton house on Fenchurch Avenue – one the most devastated flood areas – Oct. 15, 2021, just 29 days before the disaster. While his neighbours were receiving cheques, Perera was told he did not qualify for aid as his Fenchurch house was not his primary residence.
He filed an appeal with the DFA and received a call several months later stating that because of a backlog of appeal applications throughout the province he would have to wait for a decision.Last month he met federal Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair, who was touring the community’s flood-stricken neighbourhoods and observing the recovery process.
