The Canadian Red Cross is on the ground in Thunder Bay, helping to provide support and comfort to people affected by severe flooding that has affected approximately 1,500 homes. Working closely with community officials, Red Cross volunteers are going door-to-door to meet with families in those homes to determine what help they need.
Red Cross volunteers are also operating two shelters in the community. As well, an information post has been set up in the most heavily impacted part of the city, where people can receive information and assistance. So far, the post has been visited by hundreds of residents seeking help.
Approximately 84 trained Red Cross volunteers from across Canada are currently working on this response effort.
These photographs, by photographer and Red Cross volunteer, Johan Hallberg-Campbell, give a glimpse into how this disaster has impacted this Northern Ontario community and what the Red Cross is doing to help.
