The Work of Systems-Change

In the last few years, newcomers to Canada are facing decreased resources and increased racism & xenophobia, as anti-immigration discourse and misinformation has become more prevalent. This is only intensified in the looming federal election, and regardless of who wins this election, neither party vying for power has prevented the spread of disinformation surrounding newcomers and the affordability crisis in Canada. We’re delighted to host a conversation between partners from Brique par Brique, The Refugee Center, and The Welcome Haven about how the Canadian immigration system has evolved over time, where it’s headed, and what on-the-ground work is being done to change it.

Please note - this event is held in person, at the SHIFT space. If, for accessibility reasons, you are not able to join in person but would like to attend the event, please contact shift@concordia.ca and we can work together to see if an alternative solution is possible. A week’s notice will give us the best chance of making something work.
