Joe Melanson has made three 14-hour round trips from Yellowknife to Hay River in as many days, and heSA国际影视传媒檚 not stopping yet. Melanson, a board member of the Soaring Eagle Friendship Centre, has been donating his time to bring flood relief supplies to those who need it most in his community.

His daily hauls include everything from cleaning supplies to dehumidifiers, and perhaps most importantly, drinking water.

SA国际影视传媒淚 just thought I would have to help the community out somehow,SA国际影视传媒� says Melanson. SA国际影视传媒淚 have a place in Yellowknife and a place here in Hay River. And I wanted to help the less fortunate, you know? The ones that lost their homes and the financial means to purchase some of these small items that arenSA国际影视传媒檛 available all the time in the community unless you order them in through our local businesses, which takes a few days.SA国际影视传媒�
