The Alberta government will offer to buy and tear down about 250 homes that were affected by the massive flooding in June.

The province estimates the floodway relocation compensation will be offered to 102 homeowners in High River, 50 in Calgary, 57 in Medicine Hat, 36 in Bragg Creek and nine in Black Diamond and Turner Valley.

Homeowners who chose not to relocate will still qualify for support from the Disaster Recovery Program to repair their properties. However, in the event of another flood, they will not be eligible again.
