MPI Closes Hail Center After Record Storms | Winnipeg News

Manitoba Public Insurance is shutting down its special hail response center on Main Street in Winnipeg after handling the largest hail claims event in its history—over 34,000 claims since early June. To cope, they opened extra centers and deployed mobile repair units, including a hail trailer, to hit hardest-hit areas like Boissevain and Killarney. The Main Street center will remain open until July 31 for any scheduled appointments, after which it’ll revert to regular estimating services. For hail assessments in Winnipeg starting August 1, head to the Gateway service center. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
