ETFO and Locals donate to Fort McMurray Relief
"Children and families in Fort McMurray have faced displacement and lost everything to the fire that swept the city," said ETFO President Sam Hammond. "When tragedy hits like this, it is incumbent on us to help our fellow Canadians find a way forward to rebuild their lives."
ETFO committed an initial $50,000 to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Fires Appeal and pledged to match ETFO local donations up to an additional $50,000. The latter matching amount was realized with donations from ETFO locals across Ontario recently reaching $57,500. ETFO's combined provincial and local donations currently total $157,500.
