A terrible tragedy struck Sackville recently when the folks of Hanwell Drive had their homes and belongings destroyed in an apartment building fire. Though the devastation was unthinkable, the people of Sackville sprung into action to help put lives back together by organizing donations of clothes, food, and other necessities. I was proud to recognize these efforts in the legislature and to show once again that nobody cares like the people of Sackville!

PAUL WOZNEY « » : Speaker, I rise today to express sympathy to the residents of Sackville who suffered a great loss and to thank those in our community who brought them solace and safety.
Just over a week ago, a great tragedy befell Sackville. On the evening of Sunday, September 14th, an apartment building on Hanwell Drive was engulfed in flames, which destroyed the homes and belongings of nearly 200 residents. What went unscathed, though, was Sackville’s selfless nature. Fuelled by the hope that lives could be mended with sympathy and generosity, folks from all around came together to donate food, dollars, clothes, and essentials. I ask that the members present join me in thanking those who donated, those who shared their sympathies, and of course, the members of the IAFF Local 268, who fought the blaze head-on. Sackville’s collective work means that the victims of this unthinkable event have support to rebuild and move forward.
