"Lillooet, B.C., Friendship Centre opens its doors to travellers stranded by road closures"

"The Friendship Centre in Lillooet, B.C., opened its doors this week to travellers stranded in the community by road closures, carrying on a long tradition of helping people in need.

"It is definitely challenging for us," said Carol Camille, executive director of the Lillooet Friendship Centre Society.

"But you know, that's a part of what Friendship Centres do in communities, right? We step up when the need is there and we do what we can to make sure that our community is well supported with what needs to happen, especially during a crisis." "
