A Night for Chile - Benefit & Silent Auction

On February 27th, 2010 a cataclysmic earthquake with an 8.8 magnitude on the Richter Scale brought pain, death and destruction to Chile. The current death toll is in the hundreds and growing by the minute. Thousands are missing. Over 2.000.000 have been displaced and more than 500.000 homes have been damaged by the earthquake along with massive damage to Chile's general infrastructure. The 200+ subsequent aftershocks and Tsunamis (some of earthquake magnitude) which have increased fear and panic among the population portray a real image of suffering and devastation.

“This is a unique opportunity for Canadians of every stripe to show their solidarity and to tell the people of Chile that Canada cares as we help the victims of this catastrophe rebuild their lives”

“The Chilean government has confirmed that the devastation was “worse than expected”, with many towns and villages completely cut off and many Chileans forced to sleep on the streets.”
