The four directions of the compass are extended to portray a faith that covers a love for all. The arrow emphasizes focused direction, and at the same time, a covering that protects and shelters those who are displaced and vulnerable. The green circle in the centre draws the focus back to where we all meet to seek thriving in new life and new opportunities together.
Finally, COMPASS speaks to the long and difficult journeys that must be navigated, both geographically and with respect to the refugee claim process, neither of which can be done well when done alone. Each requires much assistance, accompaniment, and advocacy from start to finish from many different people.
The incomplete circle of the compass shows there is always room for others to be involved. We keep an open and welcoming posture to different perspectives and experiences for those who want to join us in our mission and vision. You are welcome at COMPASS Refugee Centre for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or why you need us. Our team is committed to one another and to you as we maintain our values of respect, empowerment, compassion, and inclusion.
COME and add to a growing story of impact that needs no ending. COME and help us ensure that we become so valuable to our community that we could not, not, be here; that none of us could imagine being without each other.
