Country profiles
Immigrants and refugees in our communities come from many different countries around the world. Many of them come from places experiencing ongoing humanitarian crises, including war and climate change-induced disasters. To support frontline workers in the settlement, counselling, policing, healthcare and other sectors, VCST produces country profiles as part of our Interconnectedness Initiative. These briefs provide a general context and background about countries where many of our friends and neighbors hail from. For questions or comments about the country profiles, please contact info [at] vcst [dot] ca.
