Donation-Matching Program for wildfire relief in Jasper and Alberta
OTTAWA, ON – Gerald Soroka, Member of Parliament for Yellowhead wishes to advise that
the federal and provincial Alberta government has launched a donation-matching initiative with
the Canadian Red Cross to support wildfire disaster relief and recovery efforts in the province,
including in the historic town of Jasper which was severely impacted by wildfires in recent days.
Both the federal and provincial governments will match all donations to the Canadian Red Cross
2024 Alberta Wildfires Appeal, which means every $1 donated will become $3 to support the
families and individuals most impacted by wildfires in Jasper and across the province. The
donation matching will be for 30 days, retroactive to when it first opened on July 25, 2024.
Canadians wishing to make a financial donation to help those impacted by wildfires in Alberta can do
so online at www.redcross.ca or by calling 1-800-418-1111.
