MOPC donates to BC Flood Relief
The Municipality of Pictou County has approved a motion to send $10,000 to help people affected by the disastrous flooding in British Columbia.
District 9 Coun. Peter Boyles said he believed Council should be sending a donation to British Columbia, similar to what it did a few years ago for relief in support of people affected by the Fort McMurray Forest fires.
“I figured it would be nice if we sent whatever Council decides to let them know we are thinking of them,” he said.
British Columbians who were ordered to evacuate their homes from Nov. 14 to 16 due to flooding will receive additional financial support from the Red Cross. The MOPC will make its donation to this Red Cross in British Columbia to help with these relief efforts.
