Canada Answers the Call: Humanitarian Airlift to Cuba
April 25 – May 2, 2026
Nearly 190 Canadians from Montreal, Halifax, and Toronto are uniting for a single mission: to deliver over 22 tons of critical humanitarian aid to Holguín, Cuba, during this period of severe economic crisis.
The Mission
Our goal is to transport and distribute essential supplies across the country, using Holguín as our central hub. Key aid includes: Medical supplies, food and essential goods, clothing and footwear
Why This Matters
Canada and Cuba have shared a meaningful relationship for generations. As the primary source of tourism, Canadians have long supported one of Cuba’s most vital economic lifelines. However, since early February, this lifeline has been significantly disrupted, leaving families, hospitals, and schools facing urgent shortages. Today, we are answering the call for help.
How You Can Help
We are seeking support from individuals, families, and corporate partners. You can make a difference by:
-Making a financial contribution
-Sponsoring the mission or donating supplies
-Providing storage or logistics support
-Sharing this campaign with your network
Trust and Partners
This national initiative is led by Caribbean Goodwill Tours in partnership with Build a Village, a registered Manitoba non-profit. All financial transactions are securely processed through Helcim, and donations are eligible for official tax receipts through Build a Village.
Together, we can Be the Difference!
