Gathered in Ottawa this week, the Customs and Immigration Union’s National Board of Directors expressed solidarity with their fellow CIU members and the hundreds of thousands who are currently without power or otherwise affected in the wake of hurricane Fiona.
This brutal storm, the most devastating in recent memory for several communities, has forced many residents out of their home to seek shelter elsewhere, leaving the Atlantic region and parts of Quebec reeling with downed power lines, washed out roads, flooding, and damaged buildings.
To those affected, know that you are in our thoughts. We also wish to extend our gratitude and support to the first responders and emergency services currently hard at work across the affected regions. While we cannot stand with you in person, we do so in spirit.[:fr]
