Your support is valuable!

Stand in solidarity with immigrants and refugees and let them know that you welcome them with Open Arms!

The Open Arms Movement was inspired by a group of youth at the New Life Centre who discussed vehemently the challenges they face growing up as young, immigrant, racialized males within the context of the recent rise in tensions and conflicts from around the world. They believe that inclusivity, feeling welcomed and being accepted is a right and not a privilege!

They put their experiences down on paper to pen a “call to arms” song that asks us all to treat each other with respect, to open up our minds and hearts to others, and to remember that we are all one!

Maple keys carry the seeds that root and grow into Canada’s proud maple trees. Your support today, like a maple key, can help establish the roots of new Canadians, and grow a proud, strong and inclusive Canada.

Through training initiatives, we provide cultural competency development such as citizenship and parenting classes, language instruction and a bridging program for internationally trained mental health professionals. We encourage participation of newcomers in their communities by engaging them in civic literacy education and providing them with a space to explore their experiences as newcomers.
