Their first response in Canada was to the Halifax Explosion of 1917. The Salvation Army dispatched personnel from across the country and Newfoundland to assist with relief efforts which lasted months.
Today, they are responding to what has been deemed a “historic storm” and a “landmark weather event” in Atlantic Canada. They are mobilizing trained personnel to feed, hydrate, shelter and support first responders and those affected by Hurricane Fiona.
In the Halifax area, The Salvation Army provided all daily meals and additional meal supplies to all 4 pop-up emergency comfort centers.
