Our mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity in Canada and around the world.   Our network is vast, but our approach is simple.

The Canadian Red Cross also contributes to international disaster responses by raising funds, as well as deploying resources and trained aid workers to support the local Red Cross.   Capacity building: The Canadian Red Cross also actively helps communities prepare for and reduce the impact of disasters before they happen by working with both governments and individuals to ensure they’re ready when the time comes.   Prevention and Safety: Through first aid training and water safety programming, the Canadian Red Cross helps Canadians be better equipped to prevent and treat injuries at home and in the workplace, as well as how to be safe in and around the water.   Respect Education: The Canadian Red Cross has programs and tools to help prevent violence, harassment and bullying, and to promote healthy relationships.   Community Health Services: The Canadian Red Cross is a leader in supporting Canadians to remain living in their homes safely and with dignity through innovative and compassionate community health services. A wide range of community support services are offered by the Red Cross to provide daily supports to older adults, vulnerable people, and their caregivers.   Are you interested in making a difference?

F.A.C.E.S. empowers youth by fostering a community of support. Our network seeks to instill young people with confidence in their unique identities and abilities, while providing safe environments to learn and grow. Our primary objective is the healthy growth and development of every young person who comes through our doors. We aim to address the unique individual needs of youth in our community. Whether those needs are to develop social skills, life skills, work skills, or self-esteem, we work with each youth where they are at. This is done by applying a collective, unified approach to all our programs and services that inspires youth empowerment. We are a non-profit governed by a volunteer board of directors, and our programs and services are designed and delivered by dedicated professionals. Engagement of caring community volunteers, partners and supporters helps us to accomplish our mandate. Without them, none of this would be possible. It is our hope that those who complete our programs will in turn “pay it forward” by returning to volunteer and become role models and mentors for other participants.
