William & Kate visit Canadian town: Duke and Duchess of Cambridge broke a timetable for their tour of Canada on Wednesday to meet with the survivors of a small forest fire destroyed the northern town of Slave Lake in Canada, six weeks ago. A couple of days would be a break after the hectic touring commitments in the week and the trip in the past continue to take part tomorrow in Calgary, Alberta, famous annual rodeo in town, and the stampede. But instead they moved into town, which has suffered from the destruction of eighty% and the loss of 400 houses can be expected after the winds knocked down power cables. The fire is described in the second largest natural disaster, and it is estimated to have cost $ 750 million. A helicopter pilot was killed in a rescue operation and a firefighter was injured, but many residents, who had just an hour's notice to leave, they have lost everything. The royal couple visited the worst damaged area of the region, sees houses destroyed and the wreckage of personal effects and was visibly moved to meet the survivors of the College of Great Lakes close to the North. One, Janet Parker, a native of Yorkshire, who lived nearby for 29 years, said: "I went out with a shoe box business and my passport Ie It breaks my heart People say that you can buy stuff new, but I just want back my old stuff that brings me to tears "A volunteer ranger, who met the royal couple said:" Their visit will have a wonderful effect on these people to see that they cared enough to visit them and see the damage for themselves.
