The Canadian Red Cross is a volunteer-based, humanitarian organization that supports people through its disaster, health and training programs in Canada and around the world.

We are currently actively recruiting for two programs in the Revelstoke area during COVID-19. Our Health Equipment Loan Program (HELP) works out of 65 depots across the province to loan health equipment on a short-term basis (from crutches and bath chairs to advanced equipment including lifts and beds). We are looking for Client Services Volunteers to support this amazing work.

Our Emergency Management (EM) teams are also continuing to support individuals, families and communities and we are looking for individuals and groups who can join our Personal Disaster Assistance Team (PDAT) and Emergency Response Team (ERT) During COVID-19 we have kept our HELP Depots open to the public at a reduced level of operation. We are continuing our recruitment activities as we are preparing to return to full capacity.

Additionally our PDA & ERT teams continue to provide support following provincial and national health guidelines and we continue to recruit ahead of the ongoing Flood and Fire seasons. No experience necessary and full training is provided! Visit
