Timmins volunteer Frank Draper has served the Red Cross for 57 years, starting in 1955 after he served in the medical branch of the Air Force. He started volunteering as a First Aid instructor, then got involved in Disaster Management, served on Branch Council, and has even helped out in the branch office by answering phones and helping to answer inquiries from the public as well. He also helps organize a program called Horizons, a senior to senior disaster preparedness workshop to help educate seniors about information specific to their needs in order to be prepared in an emergency situation.
When speaking about his work with the Canadian Red Cross, Frank cited a favourite adage of his: "Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.”
The Canadian Red Cross is honoured to have such committed volunteers. Thank you, Frank!
