Opportunity Description:

As part of preparedness activities, the Red Cross often coordinates mock disaster event responses. We will be setting up a Reception Centre / Shelter operation on Saturday, November 30th at the Captain William Spry Community Centre (Wave Pool) in Spryfield. We are looking for folks interested in playing individuals who have been evacuated from their home.  A profile will be provided in advance so you can come in “character”.  When you arrive you will be moved through our services and possibly referred to other organizations on site.  It is expected you will be on site for 1-2 hours.  There are two shifts, one at 10 AM and the second is 1:00 PM.  Want to come as a family?  Perfect!  Do you have a well behaved pooch or kitty?  They can come too!
