Flood Committee Raises 1.2 Million & Counting

Thunder Bay's Disaster Relief Committee is out with its latest fundraising figure.  So far just over 1.2 million dollars has been raised with more money expected to come in before the end of the month.  Chair Wayne Fletcher says it's a far cry from their original goal of 5 million dollars.  Money raised will go towards those people impacted by the May 28th flood with inadequate or no insurance.  A bottle drive is being held on January 26th and all proceeds will go towards the flood fund.
