Support for our Fort McMurray Equine Community
AEF, recognized by the Alberta Government under Alberta Sport Connection, is in the process of coordinating relief for the equine community affected by the Fires in Fort McMurray and surrounding area. The AEF has been in regular communication with Directors of the Emergency program for Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AAF); they have been coordinating animal issues with emergency operations. We will continue to update the community when information is made available.
If you are an equine owner affected by the Fort McMurray wild fires and require recovery assistance please complete this form. If you would like to assist in the way of donating funds or items to the recovery relief that will go toward fellow equines directly, please click here to learn what is currently needed.
