Alberta Flood Aid Benefit Concert 2013 - Aug 15
In June 2013, southern Alberta experienced heavy rainfall that triggered catastrophic flooding described by the provincial government as the worst in Alberta’s history. A total of 27 local states of emergency and dozens of communities were under evacuation orders.
Over 100,000 people were displaced as a result of the flooding and early damage estimates are several billion dollars.
Alberta Flood Aid was established in late June to raise funds for long-term recovery efforts through a benefit concert. The Calgary Foundation then offered to direct donations to The Calgary Foundation Flood Rebuilding Fund to ensure 100% of funds raised go to those most in need.
