Two weeks left to apply for Fiona Food Cost Reimbursement Program

Nova Scotians have two weeks left to apply for the Fiona Food Cost Reimbursement Program.

The program offers $100 to households to help cover the cost of spoiled food if they lost power for at least 48 hours.

So far, over 117,000 Nova Scotians have benefitted, and the province is still processing applications.

The last day to apply is Friday, December 16.

“We are pleased so many Nova Scotians applied for the financial support we are offering,” said John Lohr, the minister responsible for the Emergency Management Office in a news release. “I encourage anyone eligible to receive the food cost reimbursement to apply before the program closes.”

“There are still a number of programs open, including those for people seeking help with tree removal, so if you haven’t applied, now is the time.”
