World Humanitarian Day

  • Waypoints Community Services Association 100-130 Prospect Dr Fort McMurray Canada (map)

World Humanitarian Day honours the courage and dedication of humanitarian workers worldwide who deliver aid in the most challenging circumstances. Established by the United Nations in 2008, it commemorates those who have lost their lives in the pursuit of providing critical support during conflicts, disasters, and crises.

This day calls attention to the need for compassionate, coordinated action to support vulnerable populations globally. It reminds us of the importance of community resilience, protection, and empowerment, values that are deeply reflected in trauma-informed and inclusive approaches.

In alignment with these principles, Waypoints continues to support and collaborate with individuals and communities impacted by violence and trauma, working towards safer, stronger environments for all.
