OUR OUTREACH TEAM



Red Cross staff and volunteers in Thompson, Manitoba

The Canadian Red Cross is well-represented across Manitoba with Outreach Coordinators supporting programs and services in the North, Parklands, Brandon/Westman, Central, Eastman and Interlake. A key objective to expand our presence in the North was met with the hiring of a full-time Outreach Coordinator in Thompson.

Our talented Community Outreach Team looks to communities throughout the region to develop program delivery and partnerships. This approach creates teams of volunteers and professionals that carry out the mission of the Red Cross.

Our coordinators - supported by hundreds of dedicated volunteers - worked on many Red Cross initiatives including promoting injury prevention at dozens of community events; attending many community and health meetings; supporting fundraising drives for various appeals; coordinating disaster planning training exercises with rural municipalities; working with communities to provide disaster management expertise during disasters such as the flooding in Selkirk and the forest fires in the North; and recruiting and training volunteers for our programs and services.
