On November 18 a fire destroyed an apartment building in Pierrefonds on the corner of Gouin and des Sources boulevards, injuring one person and displacing 92 of our neighbours.
My thoughts go out to all of the residents and families affected.
I want to recognize the courageous response of our firefighters.
A number of local restaurants offered free meals.
My team and I have been conducting a food and clothing drive with local groups. Sun Youth has contacted the people impacted and put them in touch with On Rock Community Services.
Thanks to our residents' generosity, donations have already started coming in. More than 50 large bags of essential goods have already been collected.
I give a big thanks to everyone who stepped up and donated. It is beautiful how our community has come together in this moment of crisis.
