About the Red Cross
"Our Mission"
"The Canadian Red Cross mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity in Canada and around the world.
Our Network
The Canadian Red Cross Society is part of the largest humanitarian network in the world, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. This network includes the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (Federation) and 190 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies dedicated to improving the situation of the most vulnerable throughout the world.
Our Vision
The Canadian Red Cross is the leading humanitarian organization through which people voluntarily demonstrate their caring for others in need.
Our Values
Our actions and decisions will be based upon:
Humanitarian values, as expressed in our Fundamental Principles;
Respect, dignity and inclusiveness.
Integrity, accountability, effectiveness, and transparency, and adaptability.
Quality and safety. Learn more about our work by visiting our charity profile or exploring a Canadian Red Cross infographic filled with fun facts, videos and stories that explain how our volunteers, donors and staff help people in Canada and around the world"
New Program:
The Canadian Red Cross Friendly Phone Link Program aims to provide socially isolated seniors living in our community with daily phone checks to ensure safety and well being. They hope that by providing participants with phone checks in the morning and evening, their safety will be ensured. Should a call go unanswered, an emergency procedure is in place to ensure that participants get the assistance they need in case of an accident. They hope that by providing regular home or phone visits, the seniors within their program will be able to stay in their homes and communities longer because of reduced feelings of isolation and improved health and safety.
We can help by getting the word out about the program so they can find isolated seniors who could benefit from this program. Watch for posters, postcards and bookmarks and for more information contact the volunteer committee at 1-306-515-3822.
