Excited to have Jenn McIntyre join our team as we collaborate to establish the Canada U.S. Border Rights Clinic. A key objective is making sure people have the right information and are clear on their eligibility to seek refuge in Canada.

Our office is ready for Christmas! We do so much more than help people with their refugee claim. This year, over 500 people we are helping will have their first Christmas in Canada, many without their family. Having a welcoming place to come to means so much to them.

“When we came to Canada, we were given lots of opportunities — be it in health care, education or counselling — and we were aided every step of the way for us to integrate and feel comfortable here."
