Donation to 2026 British Columbia Wildfires Appeal​

​

October 19, 2026

​

Protection Island Lions Club donated $1,000 to 2026 BC Wildfires Appeal. It is matched 2x to $2,000 by Canadian Red Cross and its sponsors.

Donations to the Canadian Red Cross will be used to provide assistance to those impacted by the wildfires in British Columbia with immediate and ongoing relief, recovery, and resilience efforts in response to the wildfires, as well as community preparedness and risk reduction for future all-hazard disaster events within British Columbia. Funds will also be used to support mobilization of response and community partners.

​

When Canadian Red Cross launch an appeal, donations made in response to it are used to help individuals and communities identified in the appeal recover from emergencies and disasters. The funds will be designated for the purpose for which they were given. In the unlikely event that Canadian Red Cross raise more money than can be reasonably and effectively spent, it will strive to use any residual funds for similar purposes and/or in a similar geography to respond to other disasters and humanitarian needs throughout Canada.​
Eight per cent of funds raised through this emergency appeal supports fundraising and trust fund management costs. The remaining funds support the 2026 British Columbia Wildfires Appeal.
