A call-to-action from the Lions of A-711

Our collective help is needed to assist the First Nation People of Northern Ontario. Wildfire evacuees from two First Nations in northwestern Ontario have been relocated to Toronto and Barrie, Ont. this last weekend, after community leaders declared states of emergency.

Leaders in Deer Lake First Nation (DLFN), about 70 kilometers from the Manitoba border, said Friday the entire community of about 1,300 people are evacuating to Toronto due to a nearby wildfire estimated to be nearly 75 square kilometers in size.

In Webequie First Nation, about 540 kilometers north of Thunder Bay, Ont., a fire is burning within a kilometer of the community, according to a Friday news release put out by the chief and council. That's prompted the first phase of an evacuation for elders, children and other vulnerable groups, totaling about 400 people.

As you know, the Wildfires Burning in Manitoba and Northern Ontario has prompted the Evacuation of hundreds of First Nations people to leave their Homes. The evacuation orders force them to be housed in Toronto. These people came to the shelter location with the bare necessities. We are seeking Lions support to provide Humanitarian Service for people in need.

A list of desperately needed items required at this time:

1. Hairbrushes, Hair Ties, clips
2. Hygiene Products
3. Toothbrushes, Toothpaste
4. Soap
5. Baby Carriers, Baby Strollers
6. Snack granola bars
7. Bottled Water
