Who We Are

The Refugee Centre, a non-profit organization based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, was founded in 2015. What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a leading frontline organization for newcomers, with an expertise in serving refugees and refugee claimants.

Rooted in lived experience and driven by adaptability, we meet challenges head-on and reject working in silos. Instead, we deliver wraparound support that reflects the interconnected realities of settlement, ensuring no one is left to navigate this journey alone.
