A conversation based on Geoff Cameron’s recently published a book on how the US and Canada have led the world in refugee resettlement, and how faith-based organizations played an essential role in this key aspect of global refugee protection.

Join us May 20 for the first ever Cardus Coffeehouse. We’ll be hosting a conversation based on Geoff Cameron’s recently published a book, “Send Them Here” on how the US and Canada have led the world in refugee resettlement, and how faith-based organizations played an essential role in this key aspect of global refugee protection.

Joining the virtual table for conversation are Michael Casasola of the UNHCR, Shakeel Hirji of Focus Humanitarian Assistance, Doreen Katto of Matthew House Ottawa, and Belle Jarniewski of the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada. Fr. Dcn. Andrew Bennett will moderate.

This virtual book launch and discussion is a live event and will not be recorded, so we hope you will join us for some rich conversation. Attendees will have the option to join with cameras on, and we will have space for questions from attendees at the end.
