While the Canadian Red Cross does not maintain an office in Northwest Territories, we do actively help residents to prepare for and respond to disasters.
For assistance following a personal disaster such as a house fire, please contact our team at 1-888-800-6493.
The Friendly Calls program matches people over the age of 18 with trained Red Cross personnel who connect with them regularly to check-in, provide emotional support, encourage healthy coping strategies, and suggest well-being resources and community connections to other existing services.
Friendly Calls is safe, accessible, free, and available nationwide.
Call 1-833-979-9779 toll-free from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, or find more information here.
