Sask. Rush offers financial aid to tornado victims with damaged RVs

Jul 3, 2019 | 12:56 PM

The Saskatchewan Rush Lacrosse Club is offering financial aid to campers whose recreational vehicles were damaged by the weekend tornadoes in Meadow Lake Provincial Park (MLPP).

The Rush will pay up to $1,000 on the insurance deductible to each family looking to replace their damaged RV.

“They just need to fill in their contact information along with a proof of loss and then we will contact them and make the arrangements to get the cheque out to them,” Andrea Glieheisen, VP of marketing for the Rush, explained.

Glieheisen said she contacted Trevor Finlay, MLPP park manager, to find out who was affected by the tornado at the Murray Doell campground.

“He’s going to be sending me a list of the campers that were directly affected so I’ll be able to cross reference the requests that come in with the list that he has,” Glieheisen said.

Glieheisen said campers affected outside the Murray Doell campground like those at Lauman’s Landing will be looked at on a case-by-case basis.

“We just wanted to help,” Glieheisen said. “Help these families recover and rebuild and help the process. Creating memories is the forefront of our business so anything we can do to help.”

The Saskatchewan Rush Lacrosse Club is owned by Western RV Country.
