Western Heritage Services Inc. and Alberta Western Heritage™
received a mounted certificate from the Canadian Red Cross thanking us
for our donation to the Tsunami Relief fund. Like many companies,
Western simply matched the generous donations of our staff. The
Canadian Red Cross indicate that thanks to ours, and the donations of
many other Canadians, over one million kilograms of relief supplies
were sent to the region. The efforts of the Canadian Red Cross
are continuing with an emphasis on rebuilding homes, hospitals and
clinics throughout the affected area. |
