With areas of southern Alberta devastated by flooding, the Abbotsford Salvation Army’s emergency disaster services unit has set off for Calgary to assist those affected by the disaster. The unit is a mobile canteen that can act as a kitchen, providing nutritious meals for volunteers, emergency personnel and people who have been displaced. The units are designed to respond to floods, fires, earthquakes and other major events. Units from three other communities in B.C. – Terrace, Kelowna and Prince George – have also gone to Alberta to assist. The four units were slated to arrive in Calgary yesterday evening. Calgary’s Salvation Army Centre of Hope was flooded and faced with mandatory evacuation. All of the facility’s 400 residents have been relocated. The Agape Hospice was also evacuated and residents were successfully moved. Deb Lowell, public relations officer for the Salvation
