In recognition of the International Human Rights Day, we will host a two-day hybrid event that aims to combat hate, promote inclusion, and foster understanding among diverse communities. The event will feature a combination of educational sessions, interactive activities, and community showcases.

As seen with the COVID-19 global pandemic, vaccine access can be difficult among the most vulnerable populations in Canada. This includes the experiences of newcomers, both immigrants and refugees. Many barriers and accessibility challenges can potentially exist for newcomer families.
