Are you interested in learning more about refugee issues? Then read the following, which comes to us from WUSC in Ottawa:
Since it began in 1978, the Canadian Council for Refugees (CCR) has had a profound impact on refugee and immigrant rights in Canada. This year, the CCR is marking 30 years of building a home of justice for refugees and immigrants. Participate in the CCR Fall Consultation in Toronto from November 27-29 and join hundreds of refugee and immigrant rights advocates in sessions that cover a wide range of issues affecting refugee protection and newcomer settlement and integration.

The following comes to us from WUSC in Ottawa:
The Canadian Council for Refugees (www.ccrweb.ca) is having their annual Spring Consultation from May 22-24 in Winnipeg, and they have identified youth participation as a priority. They are now offering travel subsidies to Winnipeg, as well as reduced participation fees for youth (aged 18-25).
[It] would be great to see some friendly Local Committee faces in the crowd. [This event] is a highly engaging and informative conference. Check out the CCR’s website for more information, and consider applying. (NB: the deadline for applying for a travel subsidy is Friday, 9th May!)
If you will be attending, please contact Sarah Angus so that a time can be arranged for Local Committee members to meet.
Hope to see you there!
