They are also notifying impacted TELUS and Koodo residential and business customers via SMS that we are waiving all domestic voice, text and data overage fees for the duration of the state of emergency. Read about more support available by clicking the button below, including a free community crisis hotline available 24/7 to all Canadians at 1-844-751-2133.
If any of you wish to help, there are a few ways to support:

As the Airdrie Chamber, we are thinking of our chamber colleagues in the communities affected by these fires. The wildfires have caused widespread devastation and will have a significant impact on the businesses, large and small, and the lives of many people in the affected areas. Many of the areas affected have chambers of commerce that will be on the front lines of support for the businesses and the community at large. |
