Tens of thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes across southern Alberta because of flooding.
In B.C., some smaller communities have been evacuated or are still under alerts, but many British Columbians are wondering how they can help the people of Alberta.
The Canadian Red Cross has set up a donation page where anyone can donate with PayPal or a credit card.
The Salvation Army has also set up a donation page, or you can donate by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY.
There has been a Facebook page set up for the Bow Valley and Region – Community Clean Up Effort, where anyone can offer their help or services.
There has also been a High River Flood Support Page set up.
A number of Facebook pages have been set up as well for people affected in Calgary – Help Calgary Flood Victims, Calgary Flood Cleanup 2013, and Calgary Connections for Flood Help.
