B.C. liquor Stores activated their partnership with the Red Cross on August 20th, to help much-needed financial support for people affected by the wildfires.

  3. Terrace: $9,292

All funds raised will go directly to the Red Cross to provide evacuees with shelter, food, and water. Donations will also support long-term recovery, resiliency, and preparedness for future events in British Columbia and the Yukon
