Some Quebecers remain homeless and in financial limbo one year after devastating floods


Wasil has contested an provincial assessment that put financial compensation for her damages at $23,000. “I feel like we’re homeless … It’s not a normal life.” Not normal, but distressingly common. Pier-Luc Cauchon, a homeowner who lives on the Ile-Mercier neighbourhood of Montreal, is pictured pumping water during the Quebec floods that caused extensive damage in the province in the spring of 2017. A home located at 5366 Rue des Macons in the Pierrefonds neighbourhood of Montreal was demolished following the May 2017 floods that caused damage across the province of Quebec. Other homeowners throughout the province are still battling with the Quebec government for compensation before they can rebuild.
