Team Rubicon Canada

Today, our government announced Ontario Corps, a group of skilled emergency response professionals and volunteers that the province can deploy to help communities respond to natural disasters and other emergencies. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d98pneBZ

When you live in a small rural community word gets around what some of us are up to! Our local newspaper were curious what they were hearing about a Black Creek woman deploying to Jasper and the US to serve those in need with humanitarian services. It was a fun chat and I enjoyed sharing the phenomenal work that greyshirts with Team Rubicon Canada have delivered and continue to deliver. I hope it might motivate others to lend a hand to community members especially during the holiday season. #humanitarian #disasterresponse #compassion #emergencymanagement

This #GivingTuesday please join me in helping Team Rubicon Canada Bring Hope Home for communities recovering from disasters.   As the holidays approach and I eagerly await having my kids home for their winter breaks, I'm thinking about the families in Jasper who lost their homes last summer. I knew about Team Rubicon's work through my husband Geordie's involvement, but it was my first mission as a Greyshirt in early September - helping families find precious items and gain closure amid devastating loss - that really brought it to life for me.   Team Rubicon's veteran and "kick ass civilian" Greyshirt volunteers bring hope to families in a way that is different from other humanitarian organizations. A lot of their work relates to people's homes - providing safe access during blizzards, removing debris following floods, bringing much-needed resources and helping people find cherished items and offering closure to communities impacted by wildfires, like the families we supported in Jasper.   Team Rubicon Canada volunteers are doing just that - volunteering - they just need enough people to donate so they can mobilize volunteers and resources to help when and where they are most needed. (Team Rubicon Canada's impact on the ground is a vital complement to the services provided by the larger, older, better known humanitarian charities - whose name recognition and marketing budgets drive disaster-related donations that may even exceed their budgets; a great reason to support Team Rubicon Canada this year!)   If you were looking for a #humanitariancharity where your donation will make a pivotal difference this #GivingTuesday, please consider donating to Team Rubicon Canada. Every donation makes a difference.   #bringhopehome #humanitarianresponse #disasterrecovery

Access to safe water and sanitation is critical to the wellbeing of everyone around the world. Approximately 55% of the global population lacks safe sanitation and 80% of all wastewaters drain into waterways without sufficient treatment. The importance of assisting communities lacking resources, and providing a quicker recovery after a disaster cannot be understated. Team Rubicon's muck out and debris clearing capabilities are a critical piece to help those facing devastation recover safely. In addition, through our WASH program (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), we are helping vulnerable populations with water supply and purification around the world. Help us help. https://team-rubicon.ca/ #worldtoiletday @UNworldtoiletday #cleanwater #sanitation #healthycommunities

Team Rubicon Canada has been proud to partner with the Tim Horton's Foundation and Tim's Camps since 2022. Each year Team Rubicon Greyshirts get busy on a Tim Horton's Camp service project, clearing debris and preparing the camp grounds for summer, simultaneously amplifying our Greyshirt training - practice makes us prepared! From November 18 - 24, 50% of Holiday Smile Cookie proceeds will be donated to the Tim Horton's Foundation - so be sure to put a smile on your face by grabbing yourself a cookie that puts a smile on so many others who benefit. #timhortons #community @timhortonsfoundation #bettertogether

Every sandbag we fill, every sandbag we lay, helps protect communities from uncontrollable flooding. If you want to help, but can't be boots on the ground, your donation makes sure Greyshirts like Sasha can be.
