United Way's Wildfire Fundraiser Efforts
Wildfires have forced over 3000 residents from northern Saskatchewan to evacuate their homes and seek safety in Saskatoon. United Way Saskatoon and Area alongside Saskatoon Community Foundation and with the support of Saskatoon’s Emergency Response Organization is raising funds to provide evacuees with access to local entertainment, recreational activities, and transportation during their stay here. 100% of the donations will be directed to support evacuees. A charitable tax receipt will also be issued to eligible donors.

His nominator said, “There are not enough good things that can be said about this fella. He has and continues to be a servant for the people and his community. Justin has not only grown, but he has met the tasks before him with a humbleness and an eagerness to learn and develop. He is a good person and deserve this prestigious award.”
Congratulations Justin and thank you for your dedication to the labour movement and community!
