VANCOUVER — Extreme cold near the start of this year in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan has led to a damage bill that the Insurance Bureau of Canada says is more than $180 million.

The bureau says about 70 per cent of the insurance claims related to the extreme cold were for personal property and damage caused by frozen and burst water pipes.

Rob de Pruis, the national director, consumer and industry relations with the bureau, says with the frequency and severity of destructive weather events increasing, so are the financial costs for insurers and taxpayers.
