When a former 亚洲天堂 Lake resident now living in Hinton heard of the effects of wildfires sweeping through where he used to live, he sprang into action.
Dave McKay got into his truck, parked it at the Walmart in Hinton and began telling people he was collecting food donations for the Lakes District.
And when it was full, McKay started driving west, arriving in 亚洲天堂 Lake in the early morning hours of Aug. 17.
The donations have since been unloaded at the 亚洲天堂 Lake Band鈥檚 Gathering Place building where meals are being provided for evacuees and firefighters.
Breakfasts come courtesy of the Wet鈥檚uwet鈥檈n First Nation, lunches courtesy the Lake Babine Nation and dinners the 亚洲天堂 Lake Native Development Corporation.
Accommodation space is also being made available at The Gathering Place and at the Margaret Patrick Memorial Center at the Lake Babine Nation in 亚洲天堂 Lake.
