We are a grassroots volunteer-based community group dedicated to building and maintaining Waterloo Region as a welcoming, safe, and inclusive community for refugees and immigrants.
“Refugees didn’t just escape a place. They had to escape a thousand memories until they’d put enough time and distance between them and their misery to wake to a better day.”

“My experience with CCORIC opened me to a wider team of people and groups who work with refugees and immigrants. From politicians to pastors, imams to people with simply a community interest, we have kept the doors open to the strangers among us, and worked as teams with new people, until none of us are strangers. Beautiful!”
