About Canadian Red Cross
Our Mission*
The Canadian Red Cross mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity in Canada and around the world.
Vision*
The Canadian Red Cross is the leading humanitarian organization through which people voluntarily demonstrate their caring for others in need.
Values*
Our actions and decisions will be based upon:
- humanitarian values, as expressed in our Fundamental Principles;
- respect, dignity and care for one another within and outside of Red Cross, and
- integrity, accountability, effectiveness, and transparency.
Red Cross Fundamental Principles
In 1965, the seven Fundamental Principles were adopted by the 20th International Conference. They were developed to link together the International Committee, Federation and National Societies.
Our network is vast, but our approach is simple. All Red Cross programs and activities are guided by the Fundamental Principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity and Universality. These principles allow us to provide help immediately to whomever needs it, wherever they are, whatever their race, political beliefs, religion, social status, or culture
