The community cleanup continues in Denare Beach as the Village tries to recover from a devastating wildfire that ravaged the area back in early June.

Werbicki Trucking along with Aercom and the Village are working very hard on the cleanup with the hope to get residents homes and business’s rebuilt as soon as possible. Kari  Lentowics is part of the management team and says they are making a lot of progress.  " Well everything is going very well and we have had most of the people that had to hand in wavers have done so. We have done most of the manual debris removal. We are working on some of the hand picking and there are some partial lots that need to be done. It is pretty impressive how far these guys have gotten in such a short amount of time, 6 weeks and we are almost done the cleanup which is pretty impressive."

Dave McPherson is also part of the management team and has been involved with the cleanup since the beginning and shares his thoughts on an overwhelming experience. " Well it has been a pretty heartfelt experience, my son lost three buildings and actually one of the homes was my wife's childhood home. When I got asked to join the team by Joey Werbicki, to help with the cleanup, I stepped up to the plate and basically used my leadership skills. I had the backup from Joey and Mike and then we brought along Kari  and the team worked out perfectly for us for this cleanup."

12 % of properties have been completed with another 70 % that have had debris removal and are ready for the next stage. On the Amiskosakahkikan side,  PBCN with strong leadership from Clay Sewap , say they expect to have all their properties replaced by the end of February.
