TORONTO, ON – The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) is donating $100,000 to the Canadian Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal. This amount represents provincial and local donations. The ETFO Executive appreciates the support and generosity of its locals in responding to the humanitarian needs generated by the crisis in Ukraine.

Donations made in response to Canadian Red Cross are used to help individuals and communities identified in the appeal recover from emergencies and disasters:

Money raised through the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal will be used to respond to humanitarian needs generated by almost eight years of conflict, as well as preparedness and response efforts due to heightened tensions in Ukraine. The support could include preparedness, immediate and ongoing relief efforts, long-term recovery, resiliency, and other critical humanitarian activities as needs arise, both in Ukraine and surrounding countries, including supporting populations displaced.
