Resources on Immigration, Refugees, Diversity and Social Issues
As the very first immigrant-serving organization in Surrey, BC, DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society has been addressing the immediate and long-term needs of immigrant and refugee newcomers for more than 40 years.
As a leader in the social services sector, we feel it’s important to share valuable information on immigration, refugees, diversity and social issues, both locally and across Canada.
In this Resources section of our website, we compile reports, local statistics and data, as well as online and community resources and research are for the benefit of newcomers, service providers and community stakeholders alike.
