Historical Background• After being founded in 1896, • Red Cross societies generally only worked in
wartime, at this point, and Canada was at peace.
• From the moment the war broke out in August 1914, Canadians were keen and enthusiastic supporters of Red Cross work.
• The First World War marked a major turning point for the Canadian Red Cross Society (CRCS), establishing it as Canada’s leading wartime humanitarian aid organization.

Goals & Statistics • All Red Cross programs and activities are guided by the Fundamental Principles of:
– Humanity, – Impartiality, – Neutrality, – Independence, – Voluntary Service, – Unity and Universality.
• These principles allow us to provide help immediately to whoever needs it, wherever they are, whatever their race, political beliefs, religion, social status, or culture.
