Vircs, also known as the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre Society, is a prominent organization in the Greater Victoria Region dedicated to assisting immigrants and refugees. With a focus on settlement, integration, and anti-racism services, Vircs supports over 4,000 individuals annually, including immigrants, refugees, new Canadian citizens, and visible minorities. Their diverse programs empower newcomers to navigate their new lives in Canada with confidence and hope.

Operating on the traditional territory of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples, now known as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations, Vircs offers services such as settlement support, employment training, anti-racism initiatives, and empowerment programs. Their dedicated staff and enthusiastic volunteers work together to provide caring and committed assistance to individuals and families seeking to build a successful future in their new community.

Vircs acknowledges the importance of respecting and learning from the rich history, culture, and wisdom of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) traditional families' territory. By supporting newcomers as guests on these unceded lands, Vircs is committed to contributing to the ongoing mutual learning and healing process while recognizing the enduring presence and suffering of Indigenous peoples under colonization. Through their services and programs, Vircs aims to empower clients to embrace their new lives in a welcoming and prosperous community.
