CCR Spring Virtual Consultation 2020

Access and inclusion: protection, resources, services

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are holding a virtual consultation instead of an in-person meeting. Participate in the Virtual Spring Consultation to explore current issues affecting refugee protection and newcomer settlement. All are welcome to participate!

With views from all Canadian provinces and with experts in diverse fields, the Consultation offers opportunities for professional development, networking and strategy.

The Virtual Consultation will feature a series of webinars and on-line meetings (descriptions are subject to change).

Fee schedule

The CCR relies on registration fees to cover the costs of organizing and delivering the consultation. We encourage organizations with budgets to pay the fee for their category.

However, we understand that many organizations are under serious financial constraints, and we don’t want to exclude anyone based on financial means. If appropriate, people should choose the reduced rate for their category. If the reduced category presents a financial burden, pay zero.

The fees are per person and for the entire meeting series (except if you pay fees for a single webinar). We encourage as many people and organizations interested to register according to their financial means.

Please apply the appropriate CODE when registering!
