The town of Oakville has repaired nearly 11,000 trees that were damaged in the December ice storm.
Forestry crews continue the long journey to clear trails and woodland parks of the debris left in the storm’s wake.
Over the last eight months, forestry crews have focused on the 11,000 damaged and downed trees caused by the storm. They completed high priority work on the roads and parks.
The cost of the town’s December 2013 ice storm recovery and cleanup is estimated to be $6.2 million.
It is being funded by the town reserve. Oakville is waiting to hear the final amount of assistance funding from the province’s ice storm program.
Any money taken from the province’s program will be used to replenish the town reserve.
