After World War I and II, the A.R.S. played an important role in receiving and resettling thousands of Armenians deported from their homes. The Armenian Relief Society (A.R.S.) Canada Region was part of A.R.S. North America until 1990 when it became a separate region, to better serve the humanitarian needs of the Canadian community.
