About Remember Refugee Society

Remember Refugee Society (RRS) is a Calgagry based community service organization with a primary focus on providing support to communities through private sponsorship initiatives. The organization assists families in privately sponsoring their extended family members, relatives, or friends, with co-sponsors typically being refugees' relatives or friends to Calgary Canada. At present, the scope of sponsored refugees is limited to Calgary, but RRS is actively working to broaden its support to other cities by establishing constituent groups in those areas.
