The Immigration Services Society of BC is the “Welcome House Centre” that provides short-term and long-term housing, medical services and English language training. There is also trauma care, child care, a youth centre, food security services, a banking kiosk and a legal clinic.
The ISSofBC consists of two separate buildings, six and four storeys high respectively. There are 28 modular housing units that can accommodate refugees. The ISSofBC helps refugees who have been forced from their homes by human rights abuses and arrive in Canada searching for safety. Henriquez Partners Architects designed both beautiful buildings and incorporated Longboard Cladding in Dark Fir and custom Light Grey to create a modern yet inviting atmosphere.
