On September 8, 2015, Castlegar City Council unanimously passed a resolution to donate $5,000 to those suffering from the Rock Creek/Westbridge Wildfire. The funds will be directed to the Unmet Needs Committee. This Committee has been created to support those residents impacted by the Fire in cooperation with the Canadian Red Cross, support agencies and area representatives.
The City of Castlegar encourages our neighbouring municipalities to support and donate in aiding the victims of this devastating wildfire.
