The Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria warmly invites you to attend our upcoming INFORMATION EVENT: Responding to the Refugee Crisis, on 21 July. If you would like to assist in some way but don’t know where to start, this is an excellent way to become informed. 

We will give an overview of the refugee situation in Victoria and specifically address the needs of the BVOR refugee group – the group with arguably the greatest need for resettlement, referred by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).

Learn about BVOR sponsorship of refugees who are:

★ Priority cases, Travel-ready

★ Co-funded by the Canadian Government

Featuring UNHCR spokesperson Aviva Basman, & Mohammed Alsaleh, former refugee, sponsorship trainer & author of a TED-x Talk on The Refugee Crisis.

Saturday, July 21, 2018
1:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Cadboro Bay United
2625 Arbutus Rd, Victoria, British Columbia V8N 1W4
