Meet new friends and learn at World Refugee Day June 20th
There are many exciting events taking place in association with World Refugee Day events on June 20th with various activities at the HUB, the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery, and Festival Hall.

About Central Alberta Refugee Effort: C.A.R.E. was formed in 1979 by a group of concerned citizens who wanted to assist with the settlement of Indochinese refugees fleeing the aftermath of the Vietnam War. A year later, C.A.R.E. became a registered non-profit society. In 1982 it received status as a charitable organization. Since our founding, our mission has been to assist in the settlement and integration of immigrants and refugees in the community.
