“The first two operations we conducted, we believe were successful,” states Goodwin.
“We’ve received very positive responses from the communities and also from our volunteers who have found it extremely rewarding to work with indigenous populations here in the north.”

Volunteers with Team Rubicon call themselves Greyshirts.(teamrubicon.ca)
A Canadian disaster relief charity says it s on its way to Wabaseemoong Independent First Nations to help exhausted community members deal with a COVID-19 outbreak.
Team Rubicon Canada says the province s Emergency Operations Centre dispatched the organization.
The initial team of six volunteers, who are set to arrive Friday, will be taking on whatever tasks the community asks them to do, said Eric Goodwin, the organization s incident management team chief.
Team Rubicon Canada, established in 2010, consists of military veterans who join first responders on disaster relief missions. The non-profit organization offers those who have left military service a way to utilize their specialized skills as they regain a sense of purpose. The seven-member team of Silva and six Americans flew out Nov. 17 and returned Dec. 6. These volunteers and others like them are called Greyshirts. The group joined the pilot program established in La Cieba, Honduras, that provided clean water to those in need. The effort was called WASH, which stands for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene and saw the team provide equipment and training to 30 people, who will continue to provide clean water to thousands of people for the next two years.
