Provincial Government to Match Canadian Red Cross Donations for Newfoundland and Labrador Wildfire Aid

The Honourable John Hogan, KC, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, as we speak introduced  the Provincial Government’s participation within the Canadian Red Cross 2025 Newfoundland and Labrador Wildfires Appeal.

For each $1 contributed by people or companies, the Provincial Government will match it – doubling the influence of donor generosity. With the Federal Government additionally matching donations, each greenback donated will now change into three {dollars} to assist households, communities, and frontline responders affected by these devastating wildfires.

This matching program applies to all eligible donations made between August 14 and September 13, 2025. All funds raised will assist residents which have been pressured to evacuate their communities in Newfoundland and Labrador because of the ongoing wildfires.

“During several visits to evacuation reception centres this summer, I have seen firsthand the tremendous work of the Canadian Red Cross in providing comfort and support to those forced from their homes due to wildfires. This has been a devastating event, and we know the response is not over yet. I am pleased to announce our  participation in the Canadian Red Cross 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador Wildfires Appeal. This support will ensure the Canadian Red Cross has the resources it needs to assist evacuees, provide relief, and help our communities recover.”
