Happy Canada Day to all of our new neighbours!! Thanks to the many volunteers, supporters and partners of Operation Not Forgotten, who have made this celebration possible for so many impacted by Australia's offshore processing policy. We look forward to welcoming more new arrivals to Canada in the months ahead.

On World Refugee Day we honour the strength, courage and resilience of those who have been forced to flee their homes and leave their lives and loved ones behind to escape conflict, persecution, discrimination and fear. Many refugees worldwide, including those whom Ads Up Canada sponsors and supports, have faced years of indefinite detention. While others spend years languishing in refugee camps living in fear and without basic human rights.
We stand in solidarity with refugees and other supporters to draw attention to the rights, needs, and dreams of those who have been forced to flee, and to highlight the importance of working together to create solutions and opportunities for refugees to thrive!
In joining with others, we acknowledge the strength and determination required to rebuild a life in a new country and to celebrate the many ways that those forced to flee enrich the social, economic and cultural fabric of Canada.
Ads Up Canada sponsors and supports refugees, who have been affected by Australia’s offshore processing policy and suffered years of indefinite detention on Nauru and Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, to resettle in Canada.
