Port Dalhousie residents create makeshift gurney

Like every major storm, we are starting to hear tales of heroism, of neighbours helping neighbours.

A video is circulating this morning showing residents on Michigan Avenue in Port Dalhousie who shoveled their sidewalk, put a Muskoka chair on some sleds, all to get their sick neighbour down the street to a waiting ambulance.

Welland firefighters tweeting out accolades this morning for NRP officers who drove stranded nurses to the hospital in yesterday's storm.

Even the premier got in on the act, helping stranded motorist dig out.

Doug Ford telling us if you give someone a lift, if they are stuck in their car pull over and help.
