Today, the Government of Canada announced that it will join the Government of the Northwest Territories in matching donations to the United Way of the Northwest Territories, to support disaster relief and recovery efforts in a number of communities.
The funds will be used to support to not-for-profit community groups that help residents who have been impacted by the aggressive and devastating wildfires, including those who were forced to evacuate.
Both governments recognize the brave and essential work of firefighters, first responders, volunteers, non-governmental organizations, and emergency managers across all orders of government and Indigenous communities.
Those wishing to make a financial donation to the 2023 NWT Emergency Response Campaign can do so online at Donate Now - UNITED WAY - NWT (canadahelps.org).
