Then there were the Port Hills fires in February 2017. I have never witnessed before, and hope to never again, the raging power of wildfires such as we saw then. Despite heroic efforts of firefighters on the ground and in helicopters, 11 homes were lost, and tragically we lost the life of Steve Askin, fighting the fire from a helicopter. Then, of course, there was the unbelievable terrorist attack that stunned our city and our country. Once again, our response was so telling and so powerful.
