Canadian Council for Refugees Fall Consultation
Building a Home of Justice for Refugees and Immigrants
27-29 November 2008, Toronto

From 27-29 November 2008 refugee and immigrant rights advocates from across Canada will be gathering in Toronto for the Canadian Council for Refugees Fall Consultation. This is a fantastic opportunity for youth refugee and immigrant rights advocates to collaborate to improve refugee and immigrant rights and to agree on strategies to work together more effectively.

So...are you asking yourself, ‘What does this have to do with me?’ Good question! The Canadian Council for Refugees Youth Network members are playing an active role in the Consultation. Join us! By the end of the conference, we aim to have plans for future efforts to work together. Confirmed sessions being organized by members of the Youth Network include:

• Orientation for youth delegates - Wednesday, November 26th, 7:30 – 9 pm, Room Regency E, Holiday Inn on King, 370 King Street West, Toronto (where the Consultation takes place) (please RSVP to cfrench@ccrweb.ca if you plan to attend). Meet other youth activists attending the conference in a fun, informal atmosphere. Find out more about the workshops and conference sessions taking place. Discover how you can become more involved in the CCR and about the CCR Youth Network.

• Workshops including sessions on local youth engagement on issues affecting refugee and immigrant youth; stereotyping and violence: how are refugee and immigrant youth affected; sex education for refugee and immigrant youth; youth and access to education; and much more!

• Youth Caucus to discuss strategies and actions common to refugee and immigrant youth across Canada. What can we do locally to address issues faced by refugee and immigrant youth? What issues should the CCR Youth Network focus on?

Connecting with other youth advocates of refugee and immigrant rights is one of many aspects of this event. Other sessions during the Consultation will address the challenges faced by refugees, immigrants and their allies and will allow participants:

• To meet more than 400 refugee and immigrant rights advocates from across Canada and youth activists from around the country.
• To learn about the latest developments in refugee and immigrant issues.
• To discuss with others how to work together to protect the rights of refugees and immigrants.
• To participate in ongoing dialogue on refugee and immigrant policies and programs.

Special registration rates are available for youth delegates between the ages of 18 and 25. Register now so that you can take advantage of the early registration rate and make plans! If you live in Toronto, there is even more reason to get your forms in early: registration grants are available for the first 30 Toronto-area youth delegates who register before November 7th.
