Published purpose

The program is in response to the Alberta fires that started during the spring of 2023 that continue to impact communities. The Canadian red Cross Society (CRC) seeks to focus on support and service delivery gaps in the immediate and long term. It is anticipated that individuals and communities will need further assistance to support their evacuation, return to home and emergency recovery. This will be done by supporting community organizations who can assist throughout the immediate and prolonged impact of the crisis by additional supports and services to those impacted. As such the CRC plans to focus its programming on support to the community level.
