I will like to stress the importance of trucks and pumps since many of these available machinery is already in use in other locations around the city. Additionally, many of the those who were providing the truck/garbage services are leaving the city during the long weekend and won’t be able to help.

The post says:
“The First Nations communities affected by the flooding at this moment are in great need of volunteers. If you would like to lend a hand there are many opportunities in Morley, Siksika, and Tsuu T’ina. People are needed for sorting donations, putting together food for affected individuals, clean-up, etc.” and also explains the kinds of donations they most need.
Please note there are corrected directions for the location of the Siksika volunteer check-in place. Here they are:
“Siksika: Volunteer check-in is located at the highschool beside the Deerfoot Sportsplex. The Deerfoot Sportsplex is the building with the red roof at the 901 and 547 intersection, south of Gleichen. There are many signs to direct you upon arrival. At least 150 volunteers are needed per shift.”
Please read the blog post to get more information on a wide variety of opportunities to help.
