A Year of Extreme Weather and Team Effort
As the now infamous heat dome descended on the province in June, our non-profit partners and some of the directly managed buildings found themselves short on cooling supplies – fans, portable air conditioning units, even water. The LMDM and Lower Mainland Non-Profit (LMNP) teams, and the maintenance group at səmiq̓wəʔelə put their heads together to coordinate a quick response. The extreme heat and smoke from the wildfires affected the general population but the impact was particularly fierce for our vulnerable populations. A process was set up based on the system developed for distributing COVID supplies: LMNP identified and tracked requests, external suppliers got supplies out where they could, and the BCH fleet quickly focused their efforts on distribution. Everyone pitched in wherever they could to help.
It was a very inspiring to see multiple teams come together and work tirelessly to get the needed supplies out to support tenants across the province. Overall we were successful in sending out 680 fans, 16 portable A/C units, 42 air purifiers and 291 cases of water to our non- profit operators
