Get to Know Us

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. Whether it's responding to a disaster large or small, teaching Canadians first aid, promoting healthy relationships and non-violence, advocating on humanitarian issues or supporting communities in need around the world – we're making a difference.

The Canadian Red Cross is a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which includes the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the International Committee of the Red Cross and over 185 national Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
