If you go by the number of insurance claims, it seems the number or ferocity of storms in Saskatchewan this year have been less than the past few years.
Tyler McMurchy with SGI says adding both vehicle and home insurance claims, they have received just under 10,000 so far this year.
The current estimate for last year’s storms is over double that at 22,090 claims.
The two storms that brought in the majority of claims were a June 14th storm with hail and wind damage in southeast Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba, and the largest storm was from July 7th through 10th with hail, wind, flooding, and sewer backups.
McMurchy says the deadline for claims is within 2 years of the event, but he advises to get your claims in as soon as you reasonably can.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
