Boisvert said recruitment is still underway and going well. Applicants who do not need to have medical experience will undergo express training before being deployed.
On its website, the Red Cross continuously posts various positions, specifying that they can be paid or volunteer: service assistant, beneficiary attendant and administrative worker, among others.
It is specified that those recruited must commit to working a minimum of four weeks in a center and that longer terms will be offered.
