The Honourable John Hogan, KC, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, today announced the Provincial Government’s participation in the Canadian Red Cross 2025 Newfoundland and Labrador Wildfires Appeal.
For every $1 contributed by individuals or businesses, the Provincial Government will match it – doubling the impact of donor generosity. With the Federal Government also matching donations, every dollar donated will now become three dollars to help families, 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 support residents that have been forced to evacuate their communities in Newfoundland and Labrador due to 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.”
Honourable John Hogan, KC
Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador
“The support of the Canadian Red Cross throughout this crisis has been steadfast and they continue to be there for those that have been displaced from their homes. We thank the Canadian Red Cross for initiating this important appeal program. We know there is a lot of work to be done and the days, weeks, and months ahead are going to trying for many. But this appeal program will certainly help along the road to recovery.”
