A benefit concert is being thrown to help victims in Long Plain First Nation recover after a violent tornado touched down in the community.
Arrowhead Development Corporation is hosting the event at the Pyramid Cabaret on Aug. 17.

An aggressive tornado ripped through the community on July 20. Long Plain First Nation Chief Dennis Meeches said it has devastated the community.
“Many people were left homeless, without hydro, water and some lost everything they owned,” said Meeches.
“Long Plain First Nation is reaching out for support due to the extreme financial burden this disaster has created on our community.”
Arrowhead Development Corporation is also asking the public to submit silent auction prizes at the Southern Chiefs Organization at 105-1555 St. James Street.
