Jan 9, 2023 | 11:51 AM

Emergency management operations in B.C. and Saskatchewan will have more support thanks to a donation from Paper Excellence to the Canadian Red Cross.

The $50,000 donation follows a $20,000 donation made earlier this fall to the Nova Scotia Red Cross in response to Hurricane Fiona.

The company has operations in B.C., Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. It is currently in the process of re-opening the pulp mill in Prince Albert.

“The Red Cross is a constant, comforting presence across the world but that is especially true here at home in Canada, so we are very pleased to be supporting the Red Cross in the provinces where Paper Excellence Canada operates,” vice president of EH&S and corporate communications Graham Kissack, said.

Luc Mullinder, the vice president of the Canadian Red Cross Saskatchewan said the organization is grateful for the donation.

“Your gift ensures that no one is alone when facing an emergency or disaster. It also supports initiatives that help those most vulnerable in our communities. Families and individuals who experience natural disasters and evacuations from their homes in the face of uncertainty at a time of crisis. These individuals are given essentials such as food, shelter and clothing. Your generosity ensures we can be there for communities when called upon and support those who need it the most,” he said.

Since 2021, Paper Excellence Canada has supported communities across the country with over $1.7 million in community donations and investments.
