Ryan Reynolds is sending love to his home province of B.C., as it deals with flooding and devastation caused by extreme weather conditions.
The actor never hides his love for his Canadian home. He grew up in Vancouver and still shouts out his hometown on a regular basis.
While it's normally more lighthearted and teasing, this post was concerning the serious and tragic situation in B.C. right now.
My home of BC continues to face a crisis from the brutal #BCFloods. Homes, farms, schools, roads and vulnerable communities. Rebuilding will take time. Blake and I made a donation to @redcrosscanada. If you\u2019d like to help, here\u2019s a link https://bit.ly/3kN1pu6\u00a0pic.twitter.com/UYpdwSQM0z— Ryan Reynolds (@Ryan Reynolds) 1637930279
He posted on his Instagram story and Twitter account, to get the word out.
After explaining the circumstances the province is facing, he said that he and spouse Blake Lively donated to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts.
He also encouraged others to do the same. With his huge audience on both platforms, this could make a massive difference in terms of the rebuilding effort.
B.C. is still in a state of emergency, and although some evacuated cities are letting people return, it's only under strict rules.
The City of Abbotsford is dealing with intense flooding and had to implement a water advisory so that residents in some areas can't use or drink the water.
People and Abbotsford also faced extreme losses to investments and livestock during the flooding.
Highways are undergoing repairs now, and multiple people have been found dead in the mudslides that occurred.
While just beginning the recovery process, people have been also asked to prepare their emergency kits, and possibly to get ready to evacuate again if needed.
This preparation is recommended while B.C. gets hit by a series of more storms, bringing even more rain to already flooded areas.
