We have also requested an EDS canteen from Saskatchewan to assist. At present our Thrift Store is in the flood zone and the shelter (18 clients, plus staff) have also been evacuated. Blackie - The team from Lethbridge with EDS Canteen was on site to serve breakfast and lunch. Calgary - Our Agape Hospice is evacuated and all residents have been placed.
