Fostering Diversity While Strengthening Inclusion

10 days until our conference is here! It is not to late to register and hear Kory Wilson, Yasir Naqvi, Michele Manocchi, and Rawda Harb speak to issues of diversity and inclusion!

Welcome back, hope everybody enjoyed their break. In other news, January 16th! Come share your cultural values and heritage with a diverse audience, to build bridges and understanding with other communities in your city. Discuss challenges associated with integration or expectations and acceptance from the mainstream Canadian value system. Challenge your thinking and relations with others, while contributing to dialogue and ideas of how to address prejudice and discrimination in your Canadian workplace and community.

We welcome everyone with a distinct cultural identity they would like to share, with a particular welcome to newcomers, first, and second/third generation Canadians.

Are you a Newcomer, Marginalized Woman or Settlement Service Provider?

We welcome you to attend the Multicultural Women’s Forum which aims to inspire conversation and build recommendations on addressing barriers to economic advancement facing immigrant women in Canada today. The forum will create a positive and welcoming space for newcomer women’s challenges and successes to be shared and heard by other women and individuals working in the settlement sector. Panel discussions will showcase journeys of success, as well as leading employment support programs and initiatives, providing an opportunity for newcomers to become informed on the broad range of support services available to them and also offer women the opportunity to identify service gaps and provide suggestions for collaborative action. This event is organized by the Lebanese & Arab Social Services Agency (LASSA) in partnership with COSTI Immigrant Services and the Toronto Centre for Community Learning and Development
