1997 & 1998
During the floods in Manitoba in 1997 and ice storms in Eastern Ontario and Quebec in 1998, IODE and its members were there to help in this time of need with collections of donated clothing, diapers and food. Our members raised over $14,000 to assist victims of the Manitoba Flood, and over $24,500 towards the Ontario and Quebec Ice Storm Relief Fund.
