Jeremiah’s House (Formally Global House)
Background
Jeremiah was the family name of the donor who donated their farm
to the Centre in the late 1970s. Jeremiah’s House now is the
Reception Centre for Government Assisted Refugees (GARs). Prior to
Jeremiah’s House, GARs were accommodated in Global House which was
located at 719 Dundas
Street. The Reception Centre moved to a new
location at 505 Dundas Street and changed the
name to Jeremiah’s
House Reception Centre in October 2006.
Current Location
Jeremiah’s House is the latest addition to The Cross Cultural Learner Centre’s building and the House officially opened its doors on December 7th, 2006. Jeremiah’s House is
the only reception centre for government assisted refugees (GARs) in
London and can accommodate up to
30 people at any one time. We welcome people from all over the world who are designated as refugees due to fear of persecution in their home countries.
Jeremiah’s House and Josephs’ House staff have helped over 5,000 refugees to settle and find a new life in Canada.
