Ottawa Now - 'Flood jail' places Crystal Beach resident in a very difficult spot

July 10, 2026

A sea of residents in Canada’s Capital are still picking up the pieces following the historic Canada Day floods. Hundreds remain on the phone with insurers, and are still waiting for answers from both the city and the province. Ontario Housing Minister Rob Flack assures the people of Ottawa that the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians – a program that can help you recover costs after a natural disaster – is on its way. Furthermore, he insists that the Ford government hasn’t forgotten about Ottawa, and they won’t leave residents waiting in the dark. However, no official timeline to unveil that program has been announced, and that level of reassurance isn’t calming enough for Crystal Beach resident Jennifer Johnston, who currently doesn’t have insurance. She joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
