Currently, ShelterBox is responding in Morocco, supporting thousands of people left homeless by the 6.8 magnitude earthquake on September 8th.

Also,on Sunday, September 10th a severe storm, known as Storm Daniel, hit the north-east coast of Libya. It brought over 400mm of rain in 24 hours, in a region that typically only receives 1.5mm rain in the whole of September. The rainfall caused two dams to burst on the normally dry Wadi Derna riverbed. As a result, a torrent of water overwhelmed the city of Derna, entirely washing away several neighbourhoods.

Ally Buck will bring us up-to-date with these and other developments at Shelterbox Canada.

This meeting will be held on Zoom. All Bowen Islanders and friends are welcome to attend. There is no charge.
