Many people in our communities have been facing varying levels of crisis due to the recent storm.
We have seen amazing acts of kindness, neighbours helping neighbours, and we continue to feel inspired by this community.
When crisis strikes, our region comes together.
We’ve been there for each other through floods, ice storms, tornadoes—and a global pandemic. Right now, our social service partners are busy assessing and responding to urgent community needs.
We want to thank hydro workers, front-line staff, county and city services for their outstanding efforts.
