The United Church of Canada has been a Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH) since 1979. With further restrictions on the movement of peoples within and between countries, desperate refugees remain in all parts of the world. For some, resettlement through refugee sponsorship is the only solution. 

Join this special virtual event hosted by the United Church of Canada, and organized by the Refugee Sponsorship Training Program (RSTP). Discover the many ways you can sponsor and welcome newcomers into your community, and learn about the resources and support available to you and your group.
