In recognition of World Refugee Day, we’re continuing the conversation by challenging common myths and highlighting the strength and potential behind every refugee story. There are many misconceptions about refugees but behind every label is a person with resilience, skills, and a story worth understanding.

Through this video we debunk myths, challenge stereotypes, and create space for reality. Because refugees are not defined by their circumstances, but by their courage, skills, and potential.

At the Pickering Welcome Centre, programs like Refugee Job Connections (RJC) help turn that potential into opportunity, supporting individuals as they rebuild, grow, and thrive.

Take a moment to watch, learn, and share.
