Ottawa Tornado Brought Challenges and Opportunities
Despite no electricity, SNMC was able to prepare 350 Burgers /Hotdogs and distribute them to neighbors on Sunday September 23rd. Also, in coordination with other UMO-OG organizations, SNMC with other Muslim organizations distributed 650 packets of hot dinner to seniors and new immigrants in three locations in Ottawa; 33 Banner Road off Green Bank and Ottawa Downtown, and Gatineau.
In the absence of power, Ottawans believed themselves and showed compassion to friends and neighbours with food, water, hot drinks and shelter and drove nicely with no traffic light and police.
