A group of 24 missionaries from Alberta has arrived safely at the Port-au-Prince airport in Haiti and is scheduled to fly out of the country Saturday afternoon. Working for the aid group Haiti Arise, the missionaries had been stranded for several days at their compound near Grand Goave, about 65 kilometres west of the capital city of Port-au-Prince. Alberta missionaries are all smiles as a helicopter arrived to take them about 65 kilometres from Grand Goave to Port-au-Prince so they could catch flights home. Working in the country since 2002, Haiti Arise has three compounds near Grand Goave. Helicopters were also being used to ferry a group of 100 Quebec tourists from a beach resort about 80 kilometres northwest of Port-au-Prince to the airport.
