In Today's Windsor Star - Canada's Contribution to Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort

Convoy carries hope, supplies by Craig Pearson:

Thursday, September 08, 2005 -- The largest Red Cross convoy of Canadian aid passed through Windsor Wednesday on its way to Texas, bringing supplies to evacuees of flood-ravaged New Orleans.

The convoy of 19 trucks, carrying 20,000 cots and 26,500 blankets to help victims of hurricane Katrina, started in Quebec and stopped near Comber Wednesday to arrange the details of crossing the border to the southern United States -- complete with a federal government representative to help ensure easier flow through U.S. customs.
