We were there. Ready to Act.

Emergencies are on the rise. You’ve probably noticed it, whether you’ve been in Canada for a year or for your entire life. And you've probably noticed the Canadian Red Cross there.

Atlantic Provinces

Hurricane Fiona left thousands of people without a safe place to stay, and thousands more without power. The Red Cross opened 14 shelters and handed out 5,700 emergency items.

Ukraine

In the face of an intensifying international armed conflict, the Red Cross provided over 422,000 emergency relief items to Ukraine and neighbouring countries. This includes blankets, tarps, cooking supplies and more.

Jasper, Alberta

When wildfires led to the evacuation of thousands of people from the Jasper area, the Red Cross was there to help. Thanks to donors like you, we mobilized more than 460 personnel and distributed financial assistance to over 4,000 households.
