Canada also plays a vitally important role at the United Nations and at very many levels. Historically, Canada and Canadians have been at the forefront of much that the United Nations has achieved and continues to aspire to achieve. At the core of this is our belief that multilateralism needs to be strengthened in the interests of all of humanity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The President will also visit the Bruyere Centre for Immigrants, an Immigrant Women Services Ottawa (IWSO) project that provides support to immigrant women and their families as they integrate and settle into Canada.\u00a0<strong>The IWSO works closely with government, volunteers, and the private sector to support immigrant communities in the areas of integration, language interpretation and crisis intervention and abuse counselling. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While in Canada, H.E.
