Primacorp Ventures Inc. Steps Up for Wildfire Evacuees with Complimentary Accommodations
25 Julio 2024 - 4:10PM
As devastating wildfires continue to ravage Jasper and much of
Alberta and British Columbia, displacing countless families and
individuals, Primacorp Ventures Inc. has launched a compassionate
initiative to aid those persons who have been hardest hit.
Primacorp's subsidiary, Amenida Residences + Hotel Calgary, located
at 4206 Macleod Trail SW, will provide complimentary accommodations
for up to 30 days to displaced individuals and families. The
company has committed to offering at least ten rooms during the
peak season.
"Primacorp’s core values are rooted in community support and
humanitarian aid. In the wake of this disaster, it's imperative for
us to step forward and assist our fellow community members in any
way we can. Offering a place of rest, away from the chaos, is the
least we can do," said Najib Raie, Vice President, Strategy and
Business.
The offer starts July 25, 2024, and will extend until August 31,
2024, based on availability. Evacuees seeking refuge are urged to
contact the City of Calgary’s evacuee centre to register for
accommodation and take advantage of this generous offer.
The wildfires have caused widespread devastation, displaced
numerous residents and left them in urgent need of shelter.
Primacorp is partnering with the City of Calgary to coordinate
shelters and other essential services to the families affected by
the wildfires.
“I sincerely hope that our efforts will alleviate some of the
stress from those forced to flee their homes,” says Raie.
Primacorp is dedicated to helping the plight of people affected
by natural disasters at home and abroad. Earlier this year, in
response to the Afghan earthquake, Primacorp launched a
crucial food aid initiative and supported 200 affected families
with the Agency for Peace and Development, a Canadian humanitarian
organization committed to disaster relief and recovery.
Primacorp also helped house over 3,000 Ukrainian refugees
and provided them with free breakfast at Amenida Residences + Hotel
Calgary in March of this year. Previously, the hotel also helped
house over 3,500 Afghan refugees after the Taliban takeover.
For more information about this initiative or to inquire about
accommodation availability, please contact the City of Calgary's
evacuee centre.
