Migrant Routes Program

The Migrant Routes program uses education and training to help community members, workers, educators and students to explore the experiences, challenges and barriers newcomers face when settling in Canada and to help develop and identify ways to build anti-racist, equitable and inclusive spaces for migrants in their new Canadian communities.

Migrant Routes workshops do the following:

1. Examines the experiences/challenges/barriers that migrants face when joining and becoming a part of Canadian communities including workplaces, schools, organizations, and other social, political and economic institutions;
2. Addresses how discrimination and racism can impact migrants through policies and practices
3. Provides the capacity for participants to build their own awareness of the social, economic, political conditions and relations that can create a welcoming and equitable society for migrants
4. Develops strategies and examines how our organizations, unions, schools, workplaces and communities can assist in creating equitable and inclusive spaces for migrants to participate and be represented in Canadian society.
