THE SECOND WAVE
Just as momentum was gathering on recovery from the wildfires, a second disaster struck. Days of heavy rainfall led to severe flooding in the area, adding to the workload and compounding the frustration of residents.
MEANINGFUL GESTURES
Whether motivated by duty or led by their own moral compass, a variety of official and homemade heroes stepped in to help the citizens of Lesser Slave River douse the flames and begin to heal. These are their stories.
A MESSAGE OF HOPE
On November 22, 2011, Reeve Denny Garratt was invited to share Lesser Slave River's story of crisis and recovery with fellow elected officials at the AAMDC Convention in Edmonton. This is what he told a packed auditorium.
