Headline: Canada Stands Tall in Global Solidarity with Refugees on World Refugee Day
In an impassioned display of support, Canada leads the charge in honoring and standing in solidarity with refugees worldwide on World Refugee Day, with a heartfelt commitment to addressing their pressing humanitarian needs and pursuing solutions to their challenging circumstances.

This alarming increase underscores the urgent need for collective action in the face of one of the most pressing global challenges of our time.
Canada’s unwavering commitment to refugee resettlement shines brightly, with plans to welcome 12,000 refugees from Africa, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region each over the next three years.
