Building Dialogue: Community Voices Meet Federal Leaders

Dear Community Members,

On Friday, July 11, 2025, members of The Canada We Believe In organizing groups met with the Honourable Lena Metlege Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, during her visit to Vancouver.

The meeting was part of the Minister’s efforts to become more familiar with the sector. The Honourable Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Member of Parliament for Vancouver, was also in attendance.
