Happy New Year!

Metro Vancouver has many free programs and services to help refugees and their families settle in their new homes and communities. The Metro Vancouver Refugee Response Team (MVRRT) has researched and compiled a listing of these programs and services and uploaded them to a searchable online database.

 

This online inventory holds more than 300 programs and services located across the communities of Metro Vancouver. It is easy to navigate and can be searched by service type, by community and by agency.

 

If you are supporting an individual or family, trying to make a referral or just want to know what is available, go to:  http://metrovanrrt.ca/refugee-programs-services/

 

Please share this information with others supporting refugee resettlement in Metro Vancouver.

 

On behalf for the MVRRT Project Team, we thank you for the work you are doing.  All the very best for 2017!

 

Warm Regards,

MVRRT Project Team
