ALBERTA

 

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said that adult evacuees will receive a one-time payment of $1,250 and minors will receive $500, which will be distributed through debit cards.

Additionally, the Canadian Red Cross will provide $50 million, or $600 per adult and $300 per child, in immediate financial assistance to evacuees.

Those payments will be made electronically, and individuals who have already registered with the Red Cross will begin to receive the payments within the next 24 to 48 hours.
