The Problem:
Natural disasters and emergencies can strike at any time, leaving individuals unprepared and vulnerable. In Red Deer, many residents lack the essential skills and training needed to respond effectively during a crisis. The cost of CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training can be a significant barrier for those who need it most.

Our Story:
In the heart of Red Deer, a community-focused initiative is igniting hope and safety. Bridges of Love, a Christian ministry with 20 years of dedication to emergency preparedness in Alberta, is expanding its reach to our city. Our mission is clear: to bridge the gap between natural disasters and effective emergency response. But we need your help to turn this vision into a reality.

Why CERT Training Matters:
Imagine a community where every neighbourhood is equipped with CERT teams of trained volunteers with the skills to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their neighbours during a crisis. That’s what our CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) program aims to achieve. Modeled after the American model, CERT training provides crucial knowledge on how to respond to natural disasters and emergencies. Yet, the cost of training can be a barrier for many.

By contributing to our crowdfunding campaign, you will directly fund CERT training for residents of Red Deer, ensuring that more people can benefit from this life-saving education. Our goal is to raise $10,000 before Christmas to host a CERT training program before the end of the year, making it accessible to all who wish to be prepared.
