The Saskatoon Open Door Society was established in 1980 as a centre to welcome and assist refugees and immigrants moving to Saskatoon.

Our Mission

The Saskatoon Open Door Society exists to welcome and assist refugees and immigrants to become informed and effective participants in Canadian society, and to involve the Saskatoon community in their hospitable reception and just acceptance.

Our Vision

Saskatoon is a multi-cultural community where newcomers enjoy full participation in its economic, social, intellectual and cultural life because of the work of Open Door in collaboration and partnership with others.

Our Values

We believe that:

• People should be provided with the opportunity to make their own decisions.
• The development and delivery of Society services should involve members of the larger Saskatoon community.
• A holistic approach to service delivery will best meet people’s needs.
• A community that is well informed about refugee and immigrant services will provide a welcoming environment.
• Mutually beneficial interaction among people of different cultural backgrounds is the most effective means of developing respect for cultural diversity.
• There is one race – the human race – and all its members have the right to equality of opportunity.
