Clark also promised continuing support from her government.

“We all have friends and family in Calgary and Alberta, and we’re not just friends, we are family,” says Clark.

“As a government we are on standby and we have made a standing offer for emergency personnel.”

Clark says Alberta made a request today for nurses and public health officers today, and those people will be heading to the province soon.
