CHAR is a national initiative that distributes individual and corporate donations for refugees and displaced newcomer populations in need.
The Canadian Humanitarian Assistance Response (CHAR) is a national initiative dedicated to coordinating the response to humanitarian emergencies within and affecting those accessing Canada’s Settlement Sector. The response bridges and links communications and resources with key stakeholders involved with supporting newcomers in need across Canada. This includes national communication objectives, including referrals for housing offers, donations, volunteers, jobs, and other key orientation resources and communications from provinces and territories. CHAR follows in the footsteps of Operation Ukrainian Safe Haven (OUSH), which came together as a partnership with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to coordinate Canada’s response for the more than 200,000 displaced Ukrainians who came to Canada from 2022-2024. In its 3 years of activity, OUSH raised over 2.6 million dollars in donations which went to the direct support of over 45,000 displaced Ukrainians and other newcomers in need.
