Huge shipment arrives from Fort McMurray for wildfire evacuees
KAMLOOPS — The northern Alberta city that went through hell last year has been the first to step up to help evacuees of BC’s wildfire crisis this summer.
After an initial shipment of goods and donations came to Kamloops Monday, a massive truckload arrived from Fort McMurray this morning.
It was unloaded by a group of volunteers at the Kamloops Food Bank.
“We put a call out for volunteers, and we had about 60 people come and help us. And boy, were we glad, because we had to hand bomb that whole truck,” said Executive Director Bernadette Siracky.
