Persistent rain has led to flooding in several areas of Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and British Columbia, putting many Canadians at risk.
The Canadian trucking industry is once again taking the lead to help communities in need. Through Trucks For Change Network and the Canadian Trucking Alliance, highway carriers are currently working with Red Cross Logistics teams to distribute water, first aid, cots, blankets, cleanup kits and hygiene supplies to those affected across Canada.
Carriers wishing to make equipment or services available for emergency relief deliveries in these areas should contact us at betsy@trucksforchange.org.
