People can rag on the Flames ownership all they like for the initial debacle regarding not paying employees who could not work because of the shutdown. It was dumb and a horrible look.
But this kind of thing is why they are so important to the community.
And just to add...fundraising for the FF are completely neutered at this point because no one can gather to raise money...to then help the disadvantaged. Just a nasty and vicious cycle to be caught in without any real clear path forward or a timeline to replenish the foundations bank accounts.
