Rio Tinto’s Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) has donated
CAN$125,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to support relief efforts
following the recent wildfires in the Labrador West region and has
committed an additional CAN$75,000 to support community
organizations assisting with the recovery phase.
As wildfires forced residents of Labrador City to evacuate,
including more than 2,000 IOC employees, this marks the second such
evacuation in Labrador in recent months. The donated funds will
help the Canadian Red Cross address urgent needs, including food,
shelter, and essential supplies for those affected by the wildfires
in Labrador City.
IOC President and Chief Executive Officer Mike McCann said:
“During these challenging times, the strength of our community lies
in cooperation and mutual support. Rio Tinto IOC is actively
contributing to the recovery efforts alongside local authorities
and community organizations. We have been a part of this community
for 70 years, and we are proud to partner with the Canadian Red
Cross and local organizations to bring relief to our community
during this challenging time.”
Mayor of the Town of Labrador City Belinda Adams said: "As Mayor
of the Town of Labrador City, we are truly grateful to Rio Tinto
IOC for their incredibly generous donation to help our community in
Labrador West. The recent wildfires have been tough on everyone,
but the support from IOC and their partnership with the Canadian
Red Cross and local groups really shows the strength of our
community. This donation will make a huge difference in helping our
residents during this difficult time. Together, we'll get through
this and come out even stronger."
In times of emergency, community cooperation and mutual support
are paramount. Rio Tinto IOC continues to monitor the situation and
evaluate the needs of the communities, as well as our employees and
contractors.
