Hail storms in Calgary

Protect your home, property and investments from hail damage.

Resilience and Recovery Award

Recently, The City was awarded the first-ever Resilience and Recovery Award from The Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction, Canada’s leading disaster research institute, for rolling out the rebate program specifically creating awareness, incentives, and regulation. 

By program end, the Resilient Roofing Rebate has supported approximately 1,600 Calgarians who replaced their roof using impact-resistant materials to protect their home from severe weather damage. Learn more about the program and hear from two of our rebate recipients below.

About the Resilient Roofing Rebate Program

The rebate program offered $3,000 to homeowners who replaced their roof with an impact-resistant product to protect their homes from severe weather damage.

Due to popular demand, we are no longer accepting applications to the Resilient Roofing Rebate Program.
