Who We Serve
PIRS welcomes all immigrant and refugee women and their young children, regardless of immigration status or English proficiency.
Last year, PIRS served 1439 women and 521 children. The majority of our participants were racialized, coming from 45 countries of origin and speaking 25 different languages. 92% came to Canada as refugees.
We assist our program participants to break through language barriers, access information, meet material needs, and overcome social isolation. Our services are low-barrier, culturally relevant, and trauma-informed.
