About the “You Belong Here” Infographics Series

Anyone can be affected by hate, and it can be frightening especially if you are a newcomer.

It is currently available in 20 languages.

Our Partners

This project is funded in part by the Ministry of Solicitor General of Ontario as part of the Safe and Vital Communities (SVC) grant, and the infographics were created by Refugee 613 in partnership with Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre (PQCHC) with support and input from Ottawa Victim Services (OVS), Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF), community organizations, faith groups, and newcomer-serving partners across Ottawa and beyond.

We are grateful for the time, insight and lived experience shared with us throughout this project.
