Every year, I walk with refugees because they're our neighbours and our community is stronger when we support each other.

I #walkwithrefugees because I am a humanist. Any of us could be a refugee. Refugees are all around us: our friends, neighbours, colleagues. We lift each other up and create better communities together. @ImmigrationWR @WR_CCORIC @WRDWatReg
