Calgary group raising money to help Mexico

A local organization is raising funds to assist people suffering in the aftermath of the earthquake in Central Mexico.

Rodolfo Monarre with the Canadian Mexican Cultural Society in Calgary says what initially was a celebration of the organization’s anniversary is now a fundraising event.

“We were planning to do this event and we said, well we should turn the event to help Mexico,” he explained.
“In fact we were doing the last touch-ups for the poster for the event and this second earthquake happened in Mexico City”

Monarre adds they rallied together to raise funds when the September 7th earthquake hit.

He says the support from the Mexican Community has been overwhelming.
