EDMONTON — Alberta is organizing a centralized donation program for residents of fire-ravaged Fort McMurray and says it will avoid mistakes from the Slave Lake fire when new clothes ended up in the garbage dump.
Municipal Affairs Minister Danielle Larivee says if Fort McMurray receives more donations than needed, items will be redirected to other charities.
Larivee says the province is partnering with the Adventist Development and Relief Agency to co-ordinate donations.
