The We Stand on Guard Again concert for Hurricane Fiona relief raised $1.69 million Sunday night, including matching funds from the federal government.

The concert was broadcast on NTV and featured a who’s who of Newfoundland and Labrador musicians to raise money for the Canadian Red Cross to help with relief efforts on the southwest coast, where Fiona caused extensive damage last month. The event was organized by local musicians, entertainers and the business community.

Among the big donors, Mary Brown’s contributed 100 per cent of Sunday’s sales, adding up to $335,000.
