Carifest Donates to Haiti relief
In response to the devastating earthquake that hit south of Port-au-Prince Haiti on January 12, the Caribbean Community Council of Calgary has quickly come together to do what we can in terms of monetary aid to the troubled nation. In addition to the individual pledges from members, the executive and the board of directors, The Council has allocated an intial $2000 to be sent to Haiti relief efforts. The efforts will be ongoing for 2010 on our part, and we will be sending proceeds when we can as the year goes on. We urge members of the Caribbean Community and visitors to this site as a whole, to get involved. The Government of Canada has created the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. For every eligible dollar donated by individual Canadians, the Government of Canada will contribute one dollar to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund, up to a total of $50 million
