About Action Réfugiés Montréal
((Action Réfugiés Montréal is a strong voice for refugees in Montréal and beyond.
Action Réfugiés Montréal est une voix forte pour les personnes réfugiées à Montréal et au-delà))
As a not-for-profit, faith-inspired organization ARM seeks justice for asylum-seekers and refugeed people.
We promote partnerships among people in refugee communities and society at large for mutual empowerment.
Through our Detention, Sponsorship and Twinning programs we provide hope and assistance while raising awareness of refugee rights.
In March 2025, Jenny Jeanes, a long-time staff member, passed away. We are dedicating the Ride for Refuge this year to her memory.

En tant qu'organisme sans but lucratif, inspiré par la foi, ARM cherche la justice pour les demandeurs d'asile et les réfugiés.
Nous favorisons l’échange entre les communautés des personnes réfugiées avec la société en général, afin d’augmenter l'autonomisation mutuelle.
Grâce à nos programmes de détention, de parrainage et de jumelage , nous offrons de l'espoir et de l'aide tout en sensibilisant notre société sur la question des droits et accès à la justice.
Jenny Jeanes, une employée d'Action Réfugiés de longue date, est décédée en mars 2025. Nous dédions la Ride cette année à sa douce mémoire.
