USW Call to Action
We have just been alerted that the the Village of Cache Creek, Ashcroft and surrounding areas has been evacuated, after a wildfire has quickly gained ground this afternoon. http://cfjctoday.com/article/578739/entire-village-cache-creek-under-evacuation-order Facebook has activated a "safety check" - https://www.facebook.com/safetycheck/the-wildfire-in-cache-creek-british-columbia-jul07-2017/home/ Residents have been asked to register an emergency services center set up at the McArthur Island Sports Lounge in Kamloops. This means that Steelworkers Members, their families, friends and neighbors are going to be needing our help. I'm not sure who is directly affected or what the next steps are, but we need info. If you have been evacuated, please contact me directly as I will be putting a list together. If you are able to take in a family, a person or have a spare bed or room for a trailer, please also contact me as I would love to see Steelworkers stand up and help their coworkers and communities in this time of need. As community member's have animals, like horses, we will be needing help there as well. I've already been contacted by several people who have opened their homes to anyone needing assistance. If you need a place to stay, please contact me and I will try to make a connection that suits your needs. I have a room and our trailer open for anyone who needs a place to stay. Please pass this information on as this develops. In solidarity Kyle Wolff 1-250-851-1278 [email protected] |
