Horrified and heartbroken by the #londonontario incident. We, at COSTI, offer our condolences to the Afzaal family, the Muslim community, and all Canadians who care for justice. Let's stand against hate and #Islamophobia and raise awareness. #MuslimLivesMatter #Canada

With gratitude & respect, we acknowledge we're situated on traditional territories of Anishinaabe Nation, Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, The Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Wendat, & Métis Nations. We recognize the enduring presence of Indigenous people on & of this land

I’m deeply saddened to hear of Francisco’s passing. His was a strong & clear voice for those who were disempowered from using theirs. His fearless defense of migrants/refugees made our community a kinder & more welcoming place. My condolences to Loly & her family. FCJ Refugee Centre

It's an honour to have COSTI, together with our community partners, involved in supporting Afghan newcomers to Canada.

United Way-supported agencies have helped many settle in the GTA—and we'll keep facilitating a strong support network for Ukrainians as they join our region. One example? A program from COSTI that will connect Ukrainian refugees to housing support: untdwy.org/3y1oL6q

Honoured to work with TRIEC and our partners, in connecting newcomers to employment.
