For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
In the wake of attacks by Hamas that left hundreds of Israeli civilians dead, Saskatchewan is providing emergency funds to the Middle-East nation.
According to the provincial government, Saskatchewan will provide $100,000 in “immediate emergency aid” to those affected by the violence in Israel.
The province said the money be used to purchase “ambulances, medical supplies and other lifesaving equipment,” and the funds will be administered through the Montreal-based humanitarian organization Canadian Magen David Adom for Israel (CMDA).
Premier Scott Moe said the world watched the violence unfolding in Israel over the weekend with shock and sadness.
“On behalf of the people of our province, this donation to the CMDA demonstrates Saskatchewan’s unwavering support for Israel, and condemnation of the horrific terrorist attacks waged against civilians at the hands of Hamas and Hezbollah,” Moe said in a statement.
“We stand with the people of Israel during this tragic time and pray for all of those affected by this terrorist attack.”
According to the province, CMDA has provided more than 250 ambulances and emergency vehicles to Israel, and also works to supply medical equipment, supplies and blood-testing kits.
Moe said the provincial government condemns the attacks on Israeli civilians.
“We stand with Israel and support its right to defend itself and its citizens,” Moe wrote in a statement on social media.
