Who We Are
For the last 30 years, Reception House Waterloo Region has supported hundreds of refugees each year from all over the world.
Reception House Waterloo Region is a community-based organization that provides a warm welcome to government-assisted refugees.
Our programs and services assist refugees throughout their settlement & integration process, enabling them to lead healthy and productive lives in their new community.
