“A fire in my riding destroyed four homes and damaged 20 properties. I am thanking the neighbours and local businesses who are helping the families who lost so much.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to speak about a devastating fire in Hampton Village in Saskatoon West. In a matter of moments, four homes were destroyed, and 20 properties were damaged. Families lost the places where they had built their lives, raised their children and made their memories. One family also suffered the heartbreaking loss of their beloved dog Mocha. These are the kinds of tragedies that shake an entire community, but in the midst of this sadness, we have also seen the very best of Saskatoon West. Neighbours, friends, local businesses and complete strangers have stepped up to help those who lost so much. Businesses such as Da India Curry House and Sweets For My Sweets have held fundraisers to support the victims, showing what community compassion looks like in action. To the families affected, I say that Saskatoon stands with them. They are not alone. I thank everyone who has donated, volunteered, prayed or offered support. I thank them for reminding us that, even after great loss, hope, kindness and community spirit can be stronger than ever.”
