Just signed up to volunteer in distress center (I guess it wont count towards US app)

I am also applying to a distress center in Canada right now, but now I'm not sure if I should if it doesn't count. I thought this fell under the "community service/volunteer" umbrella of ECs. Can anyone please clarify this?

you should ABSOLUTELY mention this in you application.

I think what the person said was that he/she "just signed up" meaning that the contribution is very small by the time the application is submitted.  If you start now and continue to volunteer until October 2018, that is something that med schools should know about. 

For OMSAS I think that would fall under the volunteer section.
