We are deeply saddened by the news of the aggressive wildfires devastating British Columbia and our thoughts are with all evacuees and affected communities.
Up-to-the-minute information about all current wildfires is available on the dedicated Government of B.C. web page and we encourage all evacuees to register with the Red Cross by calling the contact centre at 1-800-863-6582. Even if aid is not required, registering allows family and friends to know their loved ones are safe.
The Canadian Red Cross is currently working with the B.C. government and a British Columbia Fires Appeal has been opened for Canadians who wish to help. To donate money for relief efforts, please visit:
