WORLD REFUGEE DAY CELEBRATION

Join us for a special Welcome Walk exploring Toronto’s refugee history, starting at Ireland Park and ending at Matthew House Toronto community building space we call "Laneway Suite" at the back of the Matthew House at 981 Dundas Street West. After the walk, stay for a joyful picnic celebration featuring delicious food, raffles, family-friendly activities, informational exhibits, and the chance to meet one of our refugee ambassadors.

Choose the experience that works best for you: join the full guided walk, complete the self-guided route at your own pace, or simply come and enjoy the picnic celebration with our Matthew House community.

Every ticket makes a difference. Your participation helps support Matthew House Toronto’s home operations and our mission of providing shelter, support, and a welcoming community for refugee claimants as they rebuild their lives in Canada.
