The generosity of Prince Edward Island potato growers is once again on display with theshipment of 50,000 pounds of potatoes to Fort McMurray. The staple will be welcomed by the food bank in the northern Alberta city which was devastated by wildfires earlier this summer.
Cavendish Farms is covering the cost of shipping, with the freight cost and food value estimated at around $30,000.
The potatoes arrived in Fort McMurray in mid-July.
