Our Story – A World Refugee Day Online Event
This event is brought to you by COSTI Immigrant Services, Jumpstart Refugee Talent and LERRN.
In the spirit of collaboration, inclusion, and fostering a national dialogue on refugee economic inclusion we invite you to join us this World Refugee Day where newly settled refugees will share their personal stories of perseverance through the economic challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Special guests will join the conversation with refugees to explore how Canadians can take action to advance the economic inclusion of refugees.
