More than $1,555,446 was raised during yesterday’s Alberta Day of Caring for Jasper, including donation matching funds from the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta.
On Wednesday, July 31st radio stations from across the province, including Country 106.5, united to raise funds for the Canada Red Cross, and as of 6 p.m. Wednesday, the humanitarian aid organization reported $518,482 in direct donations.
The total tally continues to be calculated as bottle depots across Alberta also took part in the day, collecting donations for Jasper. Another update is expected later today.
