We are grateful to the Canadian Red Cross for their leadership and partnership in making the EMLCanada platform free across Alberta for all municipalities, First Nations, Métis communities, local businesses, and community organizations. This important initiative has helped to ensure that communities of every size have access to the tools and resources needed to strengthen preparedness, response, and recovery.

Through this partnership, access to EMLCanada will remain free in Alberta until September 30, 2025 using the promo code CRCAB. Our hope is to find creative and sustainable ways to continue this offer into the future, ensuring that no community is left behind when it comes to emergency management.

We encourage all members to keep their profiles updated and to invite neighbouring communities and local businesses to join before the offer expires. A robust and connected network means stronger capacity for everyone. Insights from our evaluation and monitoring framework show that participation not only improves knowledge and connections but also supports long-term resilience building.

We also encourage members to explore the Ready Rating program offered by the Canadian Red Cross, accessible directly on the EMLCanada platform. This program provides practical tools to assess and improve organizational preparedness, adding even greater value to your membership.

Together, with your support, we can continue to build stronger, safer, and more resilient communities across Alberta.
