Can you help your neighbours? // Extreme rainstorms on July 21, 27, and 28 dumped nearly 400 millimeters of rain throughout the area, including the city of St. Catharines and Town of Lincoln. More rain fell on August 2. Thousands of homes have been flooded, some multiple times, by what has been called a “hurricane’s worth of rain.” Samaritan's Purse Canada is deploying staff, volunteers, and specialty equipment, including a fully equipped Disaster Relief Unit to assist homeowners in need.
