"The aftermath of the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria is disastrous, with weather conditions further endangering survivors and creating a humanitarian crisis. Our thoughts are with the families of those who have lost their lives, as well as members of the Turkish and Syrian communities in Canada. Donations received through this campaign will assist the Red Cross and Red Crescent with providing necessary on-the-ground emergency relief. We encourage Canadians who are able, to help to support the Appeal." Anthony G. Ostler, President & CEO, Canadian Bankers Association
