Formed in 2015, the Refugee Sponsorship Committee's goal was to bring a Middle Eastern Refugee family to Barrie. The team consisted of approximately 22 people from all walks of life. Some were members of Burton Ave. Church, while many were not. We were able to meet our goal and happy to say that they family we welcomed are doing well.
In 2024 we began the process to sponsor a family of five from Afghanistan. We are still awaiting steps in this prcocess.
