From Refuge to Resilience
Liberians Building a Thriving Future in Canada
Canada has welcomed Liberian refugees and asylum seekers fleeing civil war since the 1990s. After years of uncertainty, many of us have arrived seeking refuge and a chance to rebuild our lives. Today, the Liberian community in Canada is growing and enriching the diverse experiences and traditions that its members bring to the country. This entire journey shows the strength of the Liberian spirit.
