What's Happening

After a natural dike broke, water from the Lake of Two Mountains came rushing into the community of Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac (Quebec), flooding it within minutes. Evacuation began immediately; many families only had to time to get in the car and go—leaving their homes and valuables behind. Wellness Advocate, Agata Labeck and her team were able to provide and distribute Emergency Relief Kits in the area. Agata noted that “People were very welcoming despite their misfortune and were happy to receive any help.” A total number of 1,250 Emergency Relief Kits were sent to Canada, helping those in Quebec, Ottoawa, and Sainte-Marthe-su-le-Lac. The people of Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac are working hard to recover their homes and rebuild their community.
