The Canadian Red Cross responds to natural disasters around the world and close to home. In fact, this December, the Canadian Red Cross has supported thousands of Canadians throughout Ontario facing snow and fire related emergencies. This is a particularly difficult time of year to be affected by disaster with evacuations occurring in freezing temperatures and, unfortunately, the loss of a home and personal belongings right before the holidays said Annie Burke, Canadian Red Cross provincial senior manager of disaster management in Ontario. Our volunteers are glad they have been able to provide help and comfort to those facing such challenging circumstances. When a major snow storm left hundreds of motorists stranded on the highway between Sarnia and London, Ontario, Red Cross volunteers were on stand by to assist with cots, blankets and comfort kits filled with hygiene items and other support.
