Canadian Red Cross Announces Additional Financial Assistance for Jasper Residents

Immediate Financial Relief for Wildfire-Affected Households

The Canadian Red Cross is providing an additional $500 in one-time financial assistance to Jasper residents who have been impacted by the recent wildfires. This brings the total assistance provided to $1,250 per household.

Eligibility and Distribution

Households that have already received the initial $750 payment are eligible for the additional funding. The Red Cross is distributing the funds through e-transfers, and residents can expect to receive the funds within the next few days.

Response to Ongoing Needs

The additional support is intended to help families cover ongoing expenses such as food, clothing, and temporary accommodations. The Canadian Red Cross has been working tirelessly to provide relief to those affected by the wildfires, and this financial assistance is another step in supporting their recovery.

Matching Donations

The Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta will match every dollar donated to the Canadian Red Cross's wildfire relief fund. This means that your donation will have twice the impact on helping families in need. To donate, please visit the Canadian Red Cross website or call 1-800-418-1111.
