The issues are many, including: affordable housing, fair employment, income security, schooling, parenting, gender roles, recognition of foreign qualifications, cultural & legal awareness in Canada, spirituality, conflict.

We hope to develop a sense of community, inclusion and solidarity among immigrant men, beyond ethnicity - but as people first!
