Elizabeth Smith and Maritime Atlantic Canadian Forces

Canadian Red Cross: This has just been phenomenal . . . we're at just over $100 million that been donated by Canadians, Smith said from her Dartmouth office, according to The Chronicle Herald. A concert at the Maritime Atlantic Canadian Forces junior ranks' mess in Halifax, the Fleet Club, was one of the latest event-based fund-raising efforts in Nova Scotia, Smith said. Response has exceeded the outpouring made for the victims of the Alberta floods, said Elizabeth Smith, Atlantic region senior manager of corporate and community engagement for the Canadian Red Cross. They raised just over $21,000, and TD matched it up to $10,000. It ends up being over $51,000, when you tack on that government match, she said. The nice part is that $21,000 is individual donations, which will be matched by the federal government. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
