Bechtold Centre and Independent Generation, both on Patterson Avenue, were heavily damaged.

“Thanks to Fundraising efforts over the years, a fleet of vehicles will be on hand to transport people displaced from programming at Bechtold and Independent Generation to Mainstreet Connections and Seaton
Centre in Vernon until repairs can be completed,” Elliott said.

The Kindale Thrift Store, which is part of Bechtold Centre in Armstrong will be closed until power and water can be restored.
