Alberta Flood Relief

Following the disastrous flooding in Alberta last June, PSAC launched an appeal among Components, Regional Offices, Area Councils, Committees and Locals to support the PSAC Social Justice Fund’s Alberta Solidarity Fund.The support was instantaneous and exceptionally generous. In just a few short weeks, we raised $22,800, which was donated to support organizations working in areas where our members have been affected and may be utilizing support services.The organizations we were able to support included:

On July 12, 2013, PSAC sponsored a meal at the Calgary Drop-In & Rehab Centre, where members volunteered to prepare and serve meals to those in need.

In an effort to coordinate PSAC members who have asked how they can help, we are organizing volunteer days to get out into the communities and provide support.Calgary, Friday, July 12, 2013, 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., Calgary Drop-In & Rehab CentrePlease contact Timothy Hunt for more information or to volunteer: huntt@psac.com or 403-818-9675.
