SAWRO

On Sunday, September 29, 2024, SAWRO proudly hosted its Annual General Meeting (AGM)! Every year, our members come together to select and decide on our team of officers and board members through a transparent voting process.

This year’s AGM featured a comprehensive year-in-review of SAWIS’s projects, programs, activities, and initiatives. We also presented the proposed annual report, audited financial statements, and amended by-laws — all unanimously approved by our membership!

We thank the 186 individuals who attended, including our 121 voting members, for making this event successful. We are excited to announce that all nominated candidates for the Board of Directors, Officers, Advisory Committee, and Search & Election Committee have been successfully elected.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to another productive and impactful year together! ... See MoreSee Less

Happening this Sunday!

On Sunday, September 15, communities across countries will be standing up against systemic racism and injustices faced by newcomers who are blocked from basic needs and supports because of their immigration status.

Status for all is not just about immigration. It is also about addressing GBV faced by women, exploitation faced by worker's, ensuring access to health services, and on. It is about ensuring the security of people, so that we can fight for the security of all!

If you are interested but require supports to attend, please contact our office so that we are able to assist.People across the country are struggling to access necessities like health care, food and housing. While billionaires and bad bosses rack up profits, they blame newcomers and migrants for the affordability crisis, hoping we don’t notice their corporate greed and poor government policies.

As a collective, we must say NO TO RACISM, YES TO IMMIGRANT JUSTICE!

As nurses and health-care professionals, we know that immigrant justice is good health-care policy.

On Sept 15, join the Migrant Rights Network Toronto action at 1PM to push for justice, #StatusForAll and an end to scapegoating and racism!
