Resources: Refugees

• The Diocese of Edmonton is a Government of Canada Sponsorship Agreement Holder. We are recognized as an agency that can support refugees as they resettle in Canada. This is done primarily through church groups who decide that they want to take on the role of sponsor.
• The Diocesan Refugee Coordinator is Gail Millard.

• “Welcoming the Stranger” is designed to help groups “pray, give, learn, and advocate on conflict, migration, refugees and food security.” The resource can be used in part or in whole at any other time of the year.  The “Give” section of the resource features PWRDF’s food assistance work in South Sudan.
