I am not a spokesperson, but I can echo what I hear. On Saturna Island, there is admiration and respect for sa国际传媒 Hydro management and the professional way they responded to this latest natural disaster. Combine this with profound gratitude for the sa国际传媒 Hydro line crews and private contractors going above and beyond to bring electrical power back into our homes. As much cannot be said for Telus.
As a retired volunteer firefighter, I am aware of the extra stress put on the 911 emergency dispatch system call-takers, all the volunteer fire departments, the RCMP and sa国际传媒 Ambulance Service, who responded to keep people safe. Also, Emergency Management sa国际传媒; unseen and often unheralded, it is a powerful force for public safety.
Their combined actions mitigated the damage caused by the windstorm with timely and effective response.
