The Anglican Diocese of British Columbia has played a pivotal role in sponsoring thousands of refugees. As a sponsorship agreement holder, the Diocese has established a strong record of raising money to sponsor refugee families and then financially supporting these families during their first year in Canada. We are the largest Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH) on Vancouver Island, and we are very proud of the work we have done alongside passionate and dedicated community members.  

This work has been guided by our shared values: a desire to welcome the stranger, protect the persecuted, and act with compassion. In the face of growing conflicts around the world, this is more important than ever. We have undertaken this work despite the steep administrative costs because we know how important it is.  

Donations made through this page will go directly to the refugees we currently support.  We are no longer Sponsorship Agreement Holders and therefore are not accepting any new applications, however we continue to support the refugees we have sponsored.
