Refugee Awareness Events

The Presbyterian Church, led by Presbyterian World Service and Development, endorsed the Proud to Protect Refugees campaign earlier this year. To highlight this initiative and the plight of refugees around the world, three events are scheduled in the coming months:

  • Week of Action – Nov. 10-17: Local events to reach various audiences.
  • Human Rights Day – Dec. 10: A national, public statement with high-profile participants.
  • Solidarity Walk – June 16-22, 2014: Walks will be happening across Canada.

Information on the Proud to Protect campaign, including a toolkit with resources for churches, is available online or contact PWS&D at 1-800-619-7301 or pwsd@presbyterian.ca.
