HE Canadian community in Macau organized a fundraising Tevent last Friday, in response to the 149th celebration of Ca- nada Day. The community raised funds with the aim of alleviating the bur- dens of those who were affected by the wildfire that forced the eva- cuation of over 90,000 residents in Canada’s Fort McMurray in May. The raging wildfire, which covered around 1.2 million acres, des- troyed over 2,000 homes in northern Alberta. According to a TDM report, the Canadians recalled that the appalling wildfire was a scary and heartbreaking disaster to have witnessed from overseas. “It was really scary. Canada is not known for having a whole lot of different kinds of natural disasters,” said Christina Kimont. “But in the true Canadian spirit, everybody, even [those] overseas, is gathering together to help relieve the burden in some way,” she added. According to Maikala Harris, all proceeds will go to the Canadian Red Cross. Aside from selling of cupcakes, the fundraising event also featured silent auction items and prizes. The event marked the first time the community came together to celebrate Canada Day in the region. As the day is traditionally celebrated with patriotic attires, cookouts and fireworks, TDM reported that “beavers and all-thin- gs maple” were seen at the site. “Canada Day just means getting together with a few friends and hanging out, and drinking some beers. Talking about Canadian things like hockey, cheezies, Twizzlers and Clamato juice,” said one of the revelers, Todd Voykin. While another celebrator added that they hope to celebrate Ca- nadian holidays and reach out to fellow-citizens in the territory. 04.07.2016 mon
