Newcomers to Canada, whether they come from a refugee background or not, face many barriers to their integration. 

This campaign aims to reduce these barriers faced by newcomers when arriving to Canada, by deconstructing negative narratives and misunderstandings about refugees and newcomers to Canada with the objective of building more welcoming and inclusive communities for all newcomers.

A movement inspiring and celebrating positive actions across communities

Time to Act is a Canadian national movement that celebrates volunteering, community involvement, and every way of contributing to positive change. Led by 15 organizations funded by the Government of Canada through the Volunteer Cooperation Program, the movement shines a light on the gestures, big and small that truly make a difference.

On this platform, everyone can share their volunteer actions, draw inspiration from others, and be part of a collective wave that’s spreading across the country.
Together, our actions create a living mosaic of Canadian solidarity.
