Prime Minister Trudeau thanks crews for efforts fighting B.C. fires
WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thanked those on the front lines of British Columbia’s firefighting efforts as he stopped in Williams Lake on Monday.
Trudeau addressed about 250 people from the fire service, police and military who have been helping to keep the wildfires from overrunning communities in what has been a devastating fire season.
He thanked the workers on behalf of all Canadians for “stepping up,” saying it is reassuring for people to see everybody pulling together.
“It’s something that is just part of who we are as Canadians, as British Columbians and I really appreciate it.”
