Prince Albert and Meadow Lake offices reopen

June 27, 2012

SGI claims centres in Prince Albert and Meadow Lake are open once again, following power outages as a result of yesterday's storms in north-central Saskatchewan.

As we enter summer storm season, SGI reminds the public that safety is the first priority. People should take care of themselves and their families first and, if possible, move valuables and vehicles inside and ensure rainwater downspouts are directed away from the foundation of the home.

For those that do experience damage to homes or vehicles, protect your property from further damage by covering broken windows, take pictures of the damage and keep all related receipts for incurred costs, as these can be helpful in processing claims.

For property claims, customers should contact their insurance broker about the claim. Customers with auto claims can report them them at their convenience by filing the claim online through eClaim at www.sgi.sk.ca, or by calling the SGI Dial-A-Claim number found in their local phone book.

As it often takes time for individuals to file claims, SGI does not yet have property claims numbers related to this week's storms.
