Remember to always “Keep Calm and Carry On”

If the Red Cross public affairs department in Ontario had a catchphrase, it would be: “Keep Calm & Carry On.”  We say this phrase all the time. As people who work for a disaster aid and relief organization, it definitely speaks to us and helps to keep us motivated and centred during stressful times.

It appears we are not alone with these sentiments. Lately, you can see this popular phrase all over the place - on posters, t-shirts, mugs and even clocks.

Where did this phrase come from? Recently, Twitter Team member, Rebecca Bollwitt (@miss604) came across this short video outlining the history of “Keep Calm & Carry On.” We loved it so much that we decided to share it with all of you.

Enjoy friends! And remember –“Keep Calm & Carry On”.
