Premier Doug Ford dropped down in Ottawa Sunday to see first-hand the tornado devastation and promise Ottawans that help from the province is on the way.

In appearances at two centres set up to provide food and shelter, Ford promised that “no expense would be spared” to get life back to normal.

The scenes in Dunrobin, where a tornado damaged dozens of homes, was “heartbreaking,” Ford said after taking a private tour of the area Sunday morning.

“But as long as no one has been killed we can replace the infrastructure, and we will,” he told reporters outside West Carleton Secondary School on Dunrobin Road, where a temporary shelter and food station has been set up.

“We will spare no resources from this province,” Ford promised.

Later during a stop at Larkin Park in Barrhaven, where people affected by widespread power outages are offered free meals, Ford reiterated a promise the province made Saturday to activate the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program.
