You’re invited to our bi-annual Welcoming Communities Coalition Partnership Council meeting. This is an opportunity to share experiences and learn about collaboration and partnership building so that we as a community can be more welcoming to immigrants and refugees.
We want to ask you: What would you like the Coalition to achieve in the next 5 years?
We will look back at the past 5 years, and we will discuss where we as community organizations can collaborate and have an impact on the successful settlement of newcomers around the themes of belonging, affordability, English language learning, employment barriers, and accessibility of services.
