While there are many around the world who are suffering amidst this outbreak, we want to take a moment to acknowledge that here, in West Carleton this is now the fourth major incident affecting our communities in the past 3 years.

From all indications, this will likely affect quite a number of our community members over the course of the pandemic.

This outbreak is compounding the stress and anxiety that you and your neighbours are already feeling. Many of our residents continue to struggle with their repairs or rebuilds from the floods or the tornado and others are worried about the upcoming threat of high water.

Please remember that we are all in this together. We are now all experts at stepping up and helping each other, we will need these amazing community support skills in the coming weeks.

Volunteers from WCDR will continue to work on helping families who are struggling with past disasters while keeping our eye on the water levels. Please note that we are looking into alternative ways to host our April 4th meeting and we will keep you all informed as we move forward with our plans.

Visit the West Carleton Food Access Centre is you are in need of food and supplies during this period of social distancing.

On September 21, 2018 a tornado left a 20 km trail of destruction across the former township of West Carleton, 

completely destroying many homes, farms and businesses in Dunrobin & Kinburn. 

From the efforts of volunteers the WCDR emerged to bring our five largest communities & our local NGOs together to support survivors of the storm; we are One in Recovery. 

​

The West Carleton communities hit by the tornado are on the road to recovery.

There continue to be many challenges and the volunteers of the WCDR continue to working directly with those

affected, the Red Cross, and our other NGO partners to ensure our donations have the impact our donors expect.
