Campaigns
A campaign can be defined broadly as a series of actions based on a certain principle or aimed at achieving a particular goal. All of these campaigns are centered around the goal of alleviating human suffering, based on the principle of humanitarianism. Limits to war, the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and other pertinent issues are the focus of our campaigns. Through these global issues campaigns, the Lower Mainland office of the Canadian Red Cross provides online information and inclusionary events for the public such as workshops, lectures and symposiums. We aim not only to share knowledge but to promote action.

Despite the development of international laws and conventions to protect them, the situation for children in war zones is worse than ever. We dedicate this section to a dialogue on the disheartening impact of war on children. More»
