The Interfaith Refugee Partnership is a coalition of faith and community groups in Kingston, Ontario. It was formed in 2015 to support, resettle, and advocate for refugees.
So far we have been blessed to bring to Canada 5 Syrian families and 3 Syrian individuals: 38 new Canadians!
We await the clearance of three more adults and an infant who are presently in Beirut and Türkiye.
To bring these households to Canada, we have sometimes signed agreements with the Islamic Society of Kingston, Immigration Services of Kingston and Area, HARS-Reelout, and individuals to share funding and volunteer support responsibilities. Meanwhile we have received generous support from our interfaith partners and from the wider community. Thank you!
Today, there are over 100 million people forcibly displaced from their homes, and over 32.5 million refugees worldwide. Let’s build on our experience with refugees and continue to extend a hand in welcome!
CURRENTLY EXPECTING:
- A couple and their infant child in Beirut
- A single individual in Türkiye
