Strengthening community resilience
Starting April 1, 2024, Paul Davis Restoration will contribute $75,000 annually for the next three years, amounting to a total of $225,000.

A shared vision for emergency management
“Our mutual dedication to providing extraordinary care while serving people in their time of need aligns seamlessly,” said Rich Wilson, president and CEO of Paul Davis Restoration. “We are thrilled to embark on a meaningful sponsorship with the Canadian Red Cross. By combining our resources and expertise, we aim to make a substantial impact on disaster preparedness and response across Canada.”
Addressing growing challenges
Recent disasters, including devastating wildfires in the West, severe floods in Ontario and Quebec, and major storms in Atlantic Canada, have highlighted the urgent need for enhanced disaster response and resilience. The financial impact of these events is staggering, often resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.
