Major Announcement - Getting LGBTQI+ People to Safety in Canada
Rainbow Railroad is announcing the launch of a new, historic partnership with the Government of Canada, allowing for more LGBTQI+ refugees to safely resettle in Canada.
On June 8, the Government of Canada announced a landmark partnership with Rainbow Railroad to identify and verb at-risk LGBTQI+ refugees through the Government-Assisted Refugees (GAR) Program. Through this program, Rainbow Railroad will act as a trusted partner that can refer LGBTQI+ persons for resettlement to Canada.

Experiencing Canadian Food
Canada is a melting pot of cultures and this is reflected in its sustenance. Canadian cuisine is a fusion from around the world, from Aboriginal to English and French to Asia and other cultures.
Poutine (a combination of fries, cheese curds and gravy) is often the first thing people assume of when they think of Canadian food. From Quebec, there is also Montreal-style smoked meat (cured beef brisket) and Montreal-style bagels (wood-fired and thinner, sweeter and denser than other bagels).
Canada is also popular for its game meat (such as venison, caribou and moose), peameal bacon (back bacon cured and rolled in cornmeal), maple syrup and ice wine. Also on the must-have list: the Caesars, an alcoholic drink that contains vodka, a tomato and clam juice mix, steamy sauce and Worcestershire sauce; butter tarts (sweet dessert tart); and Nanaimo bars (three-layered chocolate dessert).

The human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, 2-spirit and intersex persons
Canada stands up for the protection and promotion of the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, 2-spirit and intersex (LGBTQ2I) people globally.
The human rights of all persons are universal and indivisible. Everyone should enjoy the same fundamental human rights, regardless of their sexual orientation and their gender identity and expression.
Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” Article 2 declares, “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration.” All people, including LGBTQ2I individuals, are entitled to relish the protection provided by international human rights law, which is based on equality and non-discrimination.
Nearly 30 countries, including Canada, recognize same-sex marriage. By contrast, more than 70 countries still criminalize consensual same-sex conduct. This includes 6 countries that effectively
