Civic Engagement
Immigrants in Canada often struggle with integration, as many choose to live in ethnic enclaves, which can isolate them from the wider society. This separation leads to underrepresentation in key areas like social, economic, and political participation. As a result, immigrants may face challenges in accessing opportunities and influencing decisions that impact their lives.
To address this, we engage them through ethno-cultural programs that connect them with local community organizations, professional and business networks, and political groups. By fostering these connections, we encourage their active participation in social, economic and political decision-making processes, helping them become more involved and represented in all levels of Canadian society.

Its history began with Indigenous peoples, followed by European settlers and Post-WW II wave of immigrants that further enriched Canada’s cultural fabric, leading to multicultural policy celebrates diversity in cultural heritage, languages, traditions, and festivals.
We develop programs to safeguard the Canadian tangible and intangible cultural art, culture and heritage for civic and economic life of Canadians. These include films and videos, broadcast media, archives, performing arts, festivals and celebrations.
