Today is World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day.
Across the world, volunteers and staff from the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement show up every day for people in crisis, responding in their own communities, helping neighbours, supporting families, and standing on the frontlines of emergencies that affect them too.

❄️ Fire hydrant near your home? Be a good neighbor and shovel the snow away from them on Sunday. When there's a fire, mere seconds can be a matter of life or death. Keeping our hydrants clear helps us hook up hoses more quickly so we can do what we do best. #PFDstrongertogether
