With the first anniversary of the 2013 ice storm approaching, the City of Toronto today submitted its official funding request to the Province of Ontario for the significant cleanup costs the City incurred during the 2013 ice storm. December 21 and 22 will mark the anniversary of the 2013 ice storm, an extreme winter storm that produced freezing rain, ice pellets and high winds. That storm, which at one point affected upwards of one million Torontonians, resulted in widespread power outages, damaged properties, a devastated tree canopy and disrupted municipal services.
