Permanent Mission of Canada to the United Nations

“As someone whose family were refugees, I am an example as to why we must provide equal opportunities for everyone.”

- Hon. Richard Arbeiter,

Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative of Canada to the United Nations

Thrive Refuge’s mission is also supported by the current Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York, Bob Rae.

“We have over one hundred and ten million people who have been forcibly displaced by crises around the world. been If refugee land was a country, it would be the twelfth biggest country in the world.”

—Bob Rae
