About Christie Refugee Welcome Centre

Welcome, safety, and support for refugees.

Located in the heart of downtown Toronto just minutes from Christie/Bloor in the Annex, Christie Refugee Welcome Centre (CRWC) has provided emergency shelter and a warm welcome for refugee families from all ethnic, racial or religious backgrounds for more than 30 years,

Approximately 300 homeless refugee claimants (100 families) from war-torn countries world-wide arrive at Christie each year. At CRWC they receive the care, support and assistance they need to pursue their refugee claim and to reconstruct and begin their new lives in Canada.

RIDE for REFUGE is a wonderful opportunity to support and advocate for refugee families arriving in Toronto.

What to Bring

A few common sense suggestions:

A cell phone for emergencies (recommended but not required)

Your bike and helmet or walking shoes

Extra snacks if you have allergies or food sensitivities

Your own water bottle

Warm layers with moisture-repelling clothing. Early October weather can be cool, with rain and wind. The weather might also be gorgeous and sunny. So be sure to keep your eye on the forecast.

A passion for the charity you're walking and fundraising for!
