This release was issued under a previous government.
“With Thanksgiving approaching, it’s important we take the opportunity to extend our gratitude to the thousands of individuals, organizations and businesses who reached out to assist residents of the Wood Buffalo region during the wildfire. Their courage and compassion demonstrates the spirit of Alberta.”
Anyone involved in the wildfire emergency, aftermath and recovery – including friends, family members, neighbours, first responders, public service members, non-profit representatives and organizations – can be nominated in the online recognition program. The nomination form is available online where the wildfire stories of resiliency will be featured.
Nominators are encouraged to include anything that helps share the nominee’s story including pictures, and the contact information of the nominee.
Nominations will be open until November 28. A certificate of thanks signed by Premier Rachel Notley will be mailed to nominees provided their contact information is submitted as part of the nomination.
