MANITOBA is giving $200,000 to help emergency flood relief efforts in Pakistan.
Premier Heather Stefanson announced the money would be sent to the Manitoba Council for International Co-operation, which administers emergency aid from Manitobans.
“Manitobans know first-hand the devastating impacts of extreme weather on lives, communities and businesses, and we stand in solidarity with the people of Pakistan as they endure this unprecedented crisis,” Stefanson said Wednesday in a statement.

Premier Heather Stefanson announced the money would be sent to the Manitoba Council for International Co-operation, which administers emergency aid from Manitobans.
Janice Hamilton, the council’s executive director, said they appreciate the province’s support.
“Manitobans consistently think beyond our borders and are always willing to step up as members of the global community,” Hamilton said.
“This funding will be crucial to help our members respond to families and communities in Pakistan that urgently need life-saving assistance.”
