The Ontario Liberals promised a two year, $2 million fund to the city of Elliot Lake following a deadly mall collapse. The fund will “help affected businesses re-open in temporary locations and put mall employees back to work as quickly as possible,” said a provincial government press release. The fund will not support lost business revenues or employment income. The Algo Centre Mall represented 60 percent of retail space in the city. Thirty-two mall tenants were displaced and two people killed when a section of the roof collapsed.
