Participation in the “For Iran” Campaigns
Dear friends,
The Imam Hossein Cultural Centre of Ottawa (IHCCO) is launching the first phase of the “For Iran” project; a collective and inclusive effort to care for one another, strengthen social connections, and preserve Iranian culture. These activities are independent of any political party or system, and their primary purpose is humanitarian and cultural action.
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who took part in the initial brainstorming session. More than 20 ideas were reviewed and discussed, and through collective input, the following five campaigns were selected as the most impactful priorities under current circumstances:
💚 A Gentle Knock: Together, we reach out each day with a simple check-in, a small gesture to remind our loved ones that they are not alone.
💚 Message Bearer: By delivering messages of kindness and encouragement of others to their loved ones, we build a living bridge of connection so that no heartfelt word goes unspoken and every voice reaches those who are waiting to hear it.
💚 Helping Hands: In collaboration with the Red Cross and Red Crescent, we join hands to help meet some of the essential needs of our fellow citizens affected by hardship.
💚 Speak of Iran: We come together to share stories and memories from our homeland, create artistic works, keep our shared roots alive, and pass this deep connection on to future generations.
💚 House of Calm: Drawing on the knowledge and experience of professionals (psychologists, counselors, educators, and legal experts) we aim to create a safe space for peace, awareness, and mutual support along this journey.
Further details about each campaign and how to participate are provided in the relevant form. We invite you to join one or more campaigns based on your interests and abilities, and to become part of this collective effort by completing the form at your earliest convenience.

We honour the memory of our fellow citizens who have lost their lives in the recent months, and we hope for peace and freedom to prevail over our motherland. May Iran soon see stability and prosperity, may our people be freed from all forms of injustice within, and may foreign aggression be kept far from our homeland.
