Toyota donated $115,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to support relief efforts in the affected communities of British Columbia as a result of floods and extreme weather.
Toyota Canada, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, Toyota Financial Services, and Canadian AutoParts Toyota are making the combined donation to the Canadian Red Cross British Columbia Floods and Extreme Weather Appeal.
“The thoughts of the Toyota family are with the residents of B.C.—including our customers, dealers, employees and communities—as they come together to overcome this disaster,” said Larry Hutchinson, President and CEO of TCI.
Hutchinson said it is important to support the ongoing efforts of organizations like Canadian Red Cross, “as they work to provide shelter, essential resources and other support for the people who’ve been affected by the recent floods.”
TMMC President Frank Voss said Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada has a special connection to B.C., since its manufacturing facilities in Ontario often collaborate with the Toyota manufacturing facility in British Columbia.
“Our thoughts are with those team members and their friends and families, as well as all residents of the area during this crisis,” said Voss. Canadians can also contribute via a financial donation to the British Columbia Floods and Extreme Weather Appeal online at https://www.redcross.ca, or by calling 1-800-418-1111.
