Ontario Ice Storm Resources And Information. Some farmers may need some help, generators etc. Post here.

The ice storm has hit parts of Ontario very hard and knocked out power to a large number of people and farms.  We will post information here in an effort to connect people.  A number of people have been using Twitter in an effort to share information and help out their neighbours.

 

Perth East Fire Chief Bill Hunter tweeted out this situation report Sunday, April 14.

There are farmers and people living in the country who may need generators.  Chief Bill Hunter sent out this Tweet Sunday, April 14.  If you don’t use Twitter, post your available generator here and we will let Chief Hunter know about it.
