ASIS Edmonton September Luncheon

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Edmonton, Petroleum Club
 
Meet and Greet: 1130 - 1200
Luncheon:           1200
 
Speaker:   Donald Bourne
                 Director, Regional Special Response Team
                 Canadian Red Cross
 
Topic:        Responding to the Alberta Wildfires in May 2011
 
Donald served for 23 years in the Canadian Military. He served in many functions and positions over that time, including United Nations missions in Cyprus and Cambodia.

 

In 1998 Donald started volunteering for the Canadian Red Cross in Disaster management. Since then Donald has been on several Canadian Red Cross missions both in Canada and International. In addition, Donald was an official delegate for five missions with the International Committee of the Red Cross in various countries involved, and several short term assignments to other countries from 1999 to 2005. Donald completed missions in Angola, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia, Iran and West Darfur in Sudan, all areas experiencing armed conflict at the time.

 

Donald spent 14 weeks with the Canadian Red Cross in the Tsunami affected area in Banda Ache, Indonesia, including Christmas 2006, working in the countryside, including on the island of Nias, as the CRC moves forward in providing permanent housing for the victims of the disaster. He has completed several short missions with the CRC in Haiti after the earthquake that devastated the island in January 2010. Donald assisted with the supply chain management as the CRC prepared to construct 7,500 long term housing for the victims of the earthquake.

 

Donald is also a senior member of the Canadian Red Cross Capital Region Volunteer Disaster Management Team, serves as a Director for the Regional Disaster Response Team and has participated as a first responder with the Personal Disaster Response Team here in Edmonton helping people when they have been left homeless due to fire, flooding or other personal catastrophe.

  

After responding to the Alberta Wildfires disaster on May 15, 2011 as a volunteer, Donald is now currently on contract as the Alberta Provincial Recovery Manager for the Canadian Red Cross. He is managing the Slave Lake and surrounding communities’ wildfire disaster as they move forward into recovery, as well as managing the generous donations that Canadians gave to the CRC for its operations.
