Other work initiatives
West Kootenay Newcomer Research Project
A detailed research report examining immigration data and trends, the experiences of newcomers, and the available community resources and support systems in Castlegar, Nelson, and Trail.
Inclusion & Belonging Campaign – Economy
Immigration is important to help sustain and grow Canada’s economy for many reasons. Newcomers to Canada contribute to our economy by opening businesses, filling jobs in important sectors and by paying taxes.
Inclusion & Belonging Campaign – Art & Culture
Immigration adds richness to arts and culture. Newcomers to Canada bring with them music, dance, stories, crafts and skills that we can all enjoy and learn from.
Land Acknowledgement
We would like to acknowledge, with gratitude and appreciation, that the land on which we live and operate is the unceded, traditional territory of the Sinixt, Ktunaxa and Syilx Nations. These lands are also home to many other Indigenous people, including the Inuit and Métis.
