REFUGEES TRANSITION CENTRE
A Vision for Quality of Life in Edmonton
The Refugees Transition Centre (RTC), planned to open in 2026 in Edmonton, Alberta, will be a dedicated space where Refugees can rebuild their lives in Canada. Refugees deserve stability, healing, and a chance to thrive in their new home, RTC builds that bridge by offering hope, community, and a foundation for a brighter future. The Centre provides a compassionate, community-based approach to healing and integration.
Our vision is to help individuals and families find safety, stability, and a better quality of life by addressing transitional housing, trauma counselling, education, and employment support, creating pathways to long-term wellbeing for Refugees.
FOR MANY REFUGEES, ARRIVAL IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
Each year, thousands arrive in Canada fleeing war, persecution, and unimaginable hardship. Many will settle in Edmonton, one of the country’s most diverse cities, yet access to housing, mental health care, education, and employment support remains limited. Without the right support, they risk being left behind. RTC eases the journey and brightens futures.
