Yesterday, when we saw some of the devastation of the city of Port-au-Prince and Pieton-ville, a very sobering statistic was mentioned. I confirmed this number this morning and it put things really into perspective for me.
Between 250 000 and 300 000 people died in the earthquake that struck Haiti in January of 2010. This is the entire population of Gatineau (from Aylmer to Buckingham). Think about it... The equivalent in numbers of the entire population of Gatineau...gone. That's all I have to say on that.
