Care Package for our Friends in BC

IMG_0506Wildfires and evacuation are now something that we are familiar with in Fort McMurray. We all know how generous our neighbours were to us last year.  WPS was happy to begin to pay back that generosity with a care package sent out to BC in the convoys that left Fort McMurray last week.

The Tuccaro Group celebrates National Aboriginal Day!

National Aboriginal Day is a day recognising and celebrating the heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding achievements of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada.  For many generations, indigenous peoples have traditionally celebrated their cultures and heritage on or near the summer solstice. This day is an occasion for all Canadians to celebrate the rich contribution Aboriginal people have made to Canada.

Come down to Snye Point Park between 11am – 5pm today for traditional dance, fish fry and family activities.  The event is free and open to the public.

A proud Aboriginal company, we would like to thank all of our employees for their hard work, loyalty and dedication in helping to make us a leader within the Aboriginal community!

Gratitude to the communities of Fort McKay and Anzac that took in residents of Fort McMurray who were evacuated, they were welcomed into homes, fed and given shelter at a time when we were so unsure of what would happen.

Gratitude that we will forever feel towards our First Responders who helped safely evacuate 80,000 people and fought to save our city.

Gratitude to all of the people across the province and country who reached out to help. Whether it was donations to the Red Cross and evacuation centres, or hugs and smiles in random places.

We’re honoured to be a part of the events being held today to help heal as a community. firefighters
