Filipinos Rising

Thank you, PIOCC SKS Sulong Kalayaan Society for inviting us to become part of the successful 9th Filipino stampede brakfast at Pacific Hut Restaurant, with more than 5,000 attendance. Connected with a lot of kababayans who wanted to volunteer and support our mental health initiatives. We also met the Federal Minister for Mental Health and Addictions Ya'ara Saks, MLA Parmeet Singh, NDP, and lots of awesome kababayans. Yahoo!!!!

Join us this Saturday, June 29 at Kerby Hall (1133 7 Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta) from 2-7PM to join Refugee Health YYC for a half day dedicated to newcomers! We will be there with Alberta International Medical Graduates Association (AIMGA) , and Refugee Health YYC

World Refugee Day is an international day organized every year on 20 June by the United Nations. It is designed to celebrate and honor refugees from around the world. Refugee Health YYC would like to take time to honor them and other newcomers in Alberta.

Our goal for the day is to have a half-day celebration and information session for newcomers to be able to address their concerns about moving to Alberta. Whether it be for health information, job postings, child care, how to enroll your children into school, we want them to be able to find answers to their questions on this day.

As Refugee Health YYC, we also are currently conducting a study understanding newcomers perspectives on vaccines to provide recommendations to policy makers on how and why newcomers choose to get vaccinated or to not get vaccinated. We want to be able to provide newcomers with an avenue to express their feelings towards how to improve healthcare for newcomers as well as answer any questions they may have regarding entering or expanding a career in academia.

Come join us and bring your children for some light snacks and beverages.

If you have questions, please email [email protected]

Hope to you you there!
