We’re excited to be part of Ride for Refuge, a fun, family-friendly cycling and walking event that supports displaced, vulnerable, and exploited people around the world and right here in our community.

This year, we’re riding and walking to raise funds for critical healthcare services, helping us continue our work in welcoming and supporting refugee newcomers as they begin their new lives in Waterloo Region.

Whether you join us on a bike, on foot, or by supporting from the sidelines, you’ll be helping us make a real impact.

Event Update: Jazz, War and the Road to Peace Cancelled

We are saddened to share that our upcoming fundraising event in celebration of World Refugee Day has been cancelled due to lower-than-expected turnout. We know many of you were looking forward to an evening of powerful music and community connection – and so were we.  

If you’ve already purchased a ticket, rest assured: a full refund will be issued. 

While this isn’t the outcome we hoped for, we’re taking it as an important learning opportunity. Every experience helps us grow, and we’re committed to doing better – for our clients, our supporters and our community. This moment is not a step back, but a step toward creating events that are more accessible, engaging, and meaningful. 

Thank you for your continued support. We have more events and exciting plans ahead, and we can’t wait to share them with you 💙
