About this event
In April, a coalition of Canadian leaders and Myriad Canada partnered with trusted non-profit organizations in Canada, India and internationally to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic in India. Through the generous support of Canadians, the India Covid-19 Relief Fund has raised $500,000 and millions of donated personal protective equipment.
This outbreak is not just a crisis for India. It is a crisis for everyone.
Join us this Friday, June 11th at 9am EDT to learn more about the crisis, the impact the India Covid-19 Relief Fund is having on the ground in India, the role of Canada’s government and people to support these efforts – and what you can do to help.
