For three days and two nights in March, they set aside comforts, carrying only a backpack with toiletries, medicine and a sleeping bag.

In spring 2023, devasting wildfires raged across Canada, engulfing millions of acres of forests. In response, the Supreme Council provided gift cards and $50,000 in aid to remote communities in Northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories. State Deputy Gaston Launière drove over 1,500 km through the Canadian north to deliver that aid. Natural disasters, like the Canadian wildfires, can happen anytime and anywhere. In these moments of darkness and trial, the Knights has always been there bringing immediate aid and comfort to those people affected.
