Refugee Sponsorship Support Program 1-Year Anniversary Event
November 1, 2016
The Refugee Sponsorship Support Program’s (SSP) aim is to harness the incredible energy of Canadian sponsors and pro bono lawyers in order to bring refugees to safety in Canada, faster. The SSP is a core program of the University of Ottawa’s Refugee Hub and we train and support lawyers who then provide support to Canadians in private sponsorship applications. By connecting dedicated volunteer lawyers to private sponsors, the program helps mitigate the challenges of a complex and technical sponsorship application process and we are proud to say that thousands of refugees have been named on SSP-supported private sponsorship applications.
Professor Jennifer Bond will participate as a panelist.
