Sanctuary North Support Program is a non-profit organization that serves as a haven for refugee families and individuals. Their mission is to provide a place where refugees can relax, be safe, explore nature, and build connection and community. They believe Sanctuary North is a gift meant to be shared, where all living things are valued and protected. The program aims to offer refugees a taste of Ontario's beauty and tranquility in a supportive environment.
Geographically, Sanctuary North operates about four hours northeast of Toronto, Ontario. The rural retreat property welcomes refugee groups from Toronto to stay in their cabins and bunkies. This location provides access to natural activities like canoeing and swimming. The program specifically connects Toronto's refugee community with rural Ontario experiences.
The program highlights include seasonal operations from June to September when refugee-serving organizations bring groups to stay for three days or more. During May and October, volunteers maintain and improve the facilities. The program is entirely volunteer-run and supported by various individuals and organizations. Sanctuary North provides accommodations, cooking facilities, and outdoor recreational activities for refugee families, individuals, and youth groups.
