Our community is stronger when we come together and today was a great reminder of the impact we can make when we walk alongside one another.

Today, we joined the City of Kitchener to celebrate the launch of Kitchener’s first Municipal Newcomer Strategy.

Our Executive Director, Tara, shared a few reflections on what it means to build a welcoming community.

“This region has been shaped by movement. We are changing every day, and every person has something special.”

Creating a welcoming community is a shared responsibility. It takes all of us listening, learning and working together.

It was great to be there alongside community members, partners and others who are committed to making Kitchener a more welcoming place.

Congratulations to the City of Kitchener on this milestone. We’re looking forward to seeing this strategy take shape in the community.

A message from our Executive Director, Tara Bedard, as we kick off Welcoming Week.

Sometimes, being welcoming starts with something as simple as a hello.
Whether you’re new to Waterloo Region or have been here for years, we all have a role to play in creating a community where everyone feels welcome.

Out of all the places in the world, you’re here. 💛
Whether Waterloo Region is a place you chose, a place you grew up in, or a place life brought you to, we’re glad you’re part of our community.

Welcoming Week starts tomorrow, and we’re celebrating everyone who calls Waterloo Region home, and everyone who helps make it feel that way.

Find your place. Meet people. Get involved. There’s a place for you here.
