Support 2024 Canadian Wildfire Relief Efforts

As of mid-May 2024, Canada has experienced 1,019 recorded wildfires, burning over 336,779 hectares since the start of the year. Presently, there are 125 active wildfires: 26 are out of control, 9 are being held, 76 have been brought under control, and 14 have received a modified response. Firefighters are working around the clock putting their lives at risk in heavy smoke and dangerous environments to mitigate the devastation of the fires and protect communities.
