People across Canada were supportive of Tofino when we ran out of water in 2006 and when the Leviathan 2 sank last year.I have contributed to the relief effort.

So you want to help out the victims in Fort McMurray...... You're told to give to the Red Cross...... What they don't tell you is that 18% of your donation goes for "administrative costs" and 19% goes for "fundraising expenses". Yep, at least 37% of your donation is never seen by the people of Fort McMurray!

....And the CAO of the Red Cross gets a salary of over $200,000.00 a year!

If you really want to help, and have your help go to the people who actually need it, Check out The Salvation Army's record.

Federal and provincial gov't will match Red Cross donations.
