The last several days, Canadian Red Cross volunteers have been on the ground responding to massive floods in Thunder Bay, ON. Heavy rains and a sewage back-up caused the flooding, which forced the municipality to declare a State of Emergency earlier this week.
Volunteers are providing comfort and care to those impacted by this disaster – including providing shelter and clean-up kits. In addition to local volunteers, Red Cross volunteers from southern Ontario and Western Canada have been deployed to Thunder Bay to assist. More Red Cross volunteers from across Canada are ready and on stand-by to head to Thunder Bay, if needed.
The Red Cross is currently accepting donations in support of relief efforts. For more info, or to make a donation online click here.
