July 2013. Lac-Mégantic. A train derailment followed by explosions, that claimed 47 lives devastated the town of Lac-Mégantic, and forever changed the community. Volunteer Denis Desilets was on site to help the Canadian Red Cross during one of the darkest moments in Quebec’s recent history.

As conflicts around the world continue to be covered in news and shared across social media feeds, young people in Canada are asking difficult questions about war, displacement, and humanitarian crises. Increasingly, educators are being asked to help students navigate these conversations — often without enough tools or support.
The purpose of this blog, quite simply, is to talk. This blog is an opportunity for Red Cross staff, volunteers, supporters and friends to share stories about what is happening in your community and the important work you are doing. It is a tool that will help keep all of us connected.
