The spring breakup on the Mackenzie and Liard rivers has caused historic and devastating levels of flooding in several communities. Particularly hard hit has been Fort Simpson where over 700 people have been evacuated, and Jean Marie River which was completely inundated by the river waters. While grateful that there has been no loss of life, the property loss and the trauma caused by dislocation and anxiety is incalculable.
We are accepting donations to assist the victims. Please place your donation in a separate envelope with your name & address and indicate that it is for flood victims in the Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith. You may also donate online here.
