Shell Canada helped evacuate over 8,000 people from Fort McMurray’s wildfires in May. When the company heard about one family that still wasn’t back home, they decided to bring them some holiday cheer.
Mitzi Brydges and Adam Larocque were celebrating their youngest son’s second birthday when the wildfires hit their city and they were forced to flee. The family lost their home, and has been renting one in Beaumont, Alta. until they can rebuild.
Since the family lost all of their keepsakes and Christmas decorations in the fire, Shell decided to make their Christmas a bit more magical.
The company treated the family to a day at West Edmonton Mall. The kids got to play mini golf, visit Galaxyland, and chat with Santa. But, what the family didn’t know is that Shell volunteers were back at their temporary home filling it with decorations and gifts.
“Up until that day we have had lots of heartache and tears,” Brydges told The Huffington Post Canada.
It’s been hard over the past seven months to temporarily relocate her family to an unfamiliar town, she said, but now thanks to Shell, they have a special memory to help them push forward.
“That day brought back so much joy into our lives and with being able to see the video, we are able to relive the moments.”
Watch Brydges and her family’s heartwarming reaction to the surprise.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
