Taiga Donates $10,000 to Red Cross Flood Relief Effort in New Brunswick

Recently, New Brunswick experienced severe flooding affecting not only physical communities, but, many people within them – customers, partners, families and staff. Taiga Building Products has three Branches in the Atlantic Region - Dartmouth NS, Moncton NB & Paradise NL and recognize that these natural disasters occur from time to time and can be crippling to communities. They wanted to help and as such, have donated to The Canadian Red Cross in support of this incident. In similar fashion, they also donated to the 2016 Alberta Wildfires, 2017 Quebec Floods, as well as the Humboldt bus accident.

During the height of emergency, the Canadian Red Cross was there, operating in two shelters and making sure other basic needs were met. As the floodwaters finally recede they are continuing to support those who are unable to return home with temporary lodging.

As communities begin to recover, Red Cross teams will remain by their side. To date:
• 2,000+ individuals have registered with the Red Cross for assistance;
• 100+ have received emotional support;
• 500+ clean-up kits have been distributed; and
• 200+ have received financial assistance
