Canadian Red Cross (CRC) saw the other side of the rapid scale-up for COVID-19. Isolation sites, vaccination clinics, and testing sites were closed and the number of active personnel in our responses reduced significantly. This scale-down and realignment of expertise is a natural dynamic in responding to humanitarian emergencies. CRC also managed a $10 million granting program for the Public Health Agency of Canada to assist with mental health impacts as a result of the pandemic and began work on a $160 million program in support of local community organizations recovering from COVID-19 impacts. Hurricane Fiona was the largest operation in the past year. More than 1,000 staff and volunteers helped to support impacted communities, including at more than 30 sites across four provinces. More than 96,000 households received assistance. CRC teams also responded to other emergencies, with notable responses in Peguis First Nation and Mathias Columb Cree Nation communities in Manitoba, as well as assisting Ukrainian refugees across Canada. Our Health Equipment Loan Program (HELP) provided loans for more than 289,000 medical supports. Teams also made 54,000 Friendly Calls to people in need of emotional support. More than 290 Indigenous communities and organizations were supported by the CRC Help Desk in the past year. Internationally, CRC assisted 78 countries and had a significant role in 29 long-term programs.
