Are you passionate about fostering diversity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging in your municipality? Do you believe that welcoming, integrating and retaining newcomers is key to building stronger communities?

We invite you to join us on Tuesday November 7 at 12:00 p.m.  to discover how you can enrich your hometown by creating welcoming environments for newcomers from diverse backgrounds. In the webinar Empowering Municipalities - Strategies for Welcoming, Integrating, and Engaging Newcomers you will learn about successful strategies for helping newcomers adapt to and stay in their new hometowns.

Presenters will discuss the importance of community engagement and social connection in helping newcomers thrive in their new communities. They will also cover how attracting, welcoming, integrating and retaining newcomers, can lead to a more prosperous, dynamic, and resilient local community.

Our esteemed panel of speakers includes representatives from municipalities, the Saskatchewan Government's Ministry of Immigration and Career Training, non-profit organizations, immigrant support groups, newcomers, and individuals with firsthand experience in welcoming newcomers. They will share their stories and insights to inspire and guide you on this journey.

This webinar is open to the public and is free to attend.
