Solidarity campaign Canada-Cuba

The hurricane Irma was one of the biggest category 5 hurricane, and even though it touched land only in the northern part of Cuba, the entire territory was affected. The strong winds and torrential rains caused damages in numerous official buildings, infrastructures and habitations. Also, it’s effects caused great damages to the tourism, agricultural and energy sectors of Cuba.

This catastrophic event will be remembered as one of the biggest hurricane in the northern Atlantic, and as a disaster that claimed 10 human lives in Cuba.

Several of our members expressed their sadness and their will to help the reconstruction efforts. The Solidarity committee of the CCICC is therefore launching a solidarity campaign to collect donations.

We are in direct communication with the Ministry of International Trade and Foreign Investment (Ministerio del Comercio Exterior y la Inversión Extranjera) and we will coordinate with them the collect and shipment of the donations.
