PMTC & the PMTC Young Leaders Group donate to B.C. Flood relief efforts
The PMTC’s board of directors have voted unanimously to donate $1500.00 to the Salvation Army to help those in need as a result of the devastating effects of the floods that continue to batter the people of British Columbia. “The effects of the atmospheric river that occurred in B.C. on November 15th, and the follow up storms that have continued, have caused devasting effects on people’s lives in the great Province of B.C., with many people being homeless and having to be evacuated. “Commented PMTC President Mike Millian. “We have also seen such damage to infrastructure that the flow of goods from the rest of the country to and from the lower mainland of B.C. has been challenging and will continue to be for quite some time. We felt this small gesture was the least we could do, and we encourage all others in the industry to consider making a donation as well. A secure link to do so is below.

In addition, the PMTC Young Leaders Group is hosting their annual Christmas meeting and trivia night, this year virtually, on December 9th at 7pm. In previous years, the group has donated to the local area food bank of one it’s members. This year, the group has chosen to donate to the flood efforts in B.C. as well and will be donating $500.00 to the salvation army B.C. relief fund.
PMTC Chair Matt Richardson added “Around the holiday season the YLG always looks to give back whether that be to local food banks or community organizations but this year, it was an easy decision to direct our donations and the donations of our membership to the relief efforts in British Columbia. What has transpired there is devastating in a number of ways and every little bit helps.”
Registration to attend the event is free, however the YLG encourages everyone who attends to consider a donation the fund. If you are interested in attending, please back to the PMTC office at info@pmtc.ca

Repairs have been made on the Trans-Canada Highway in southwestern Newfoundland to allow traffic to flow Monday (November 29) at two of the four damaged areas.
The highway will reopen north of Little Paradise Park. Updates will be provided by noon Monday.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane in some areas.
Motorists are reminded obey traffic control and watch for heavy equipment and crews working in the area.
Repairs are also progressing as planned near the weigh scales outside Port au Basques and near Little Paradise Park.
The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure anticipates the areas near the Port aux Basques weigh scales and at Little Paradise Park reopening to traffic mid-week.
Updates are being provided as they become available.
While repairs continues, the public is asked to follow the advice and direction of emergency officials and stay away from the damaged areas. Avoiding these areas will allow crews to complete the work in a more timely manner.
