From Many Cultures

One Country… Canada

Executive Director’s Message

 

In 1974 a group of volunteers formed the Moose Jaw Multicultural Council (MJMC) to preserve the heritage of cultural groups in our community and welcome new individuals as they made Moose Jaw their home. In 1989 MJMC started to receive funding to coordinate the programs that would ensure that newcomers had services available to help them with successful integration.  The philosophy of MJMC has always been to provide a holistic approach to newcomer’s settlement. All of our services are coordinated out of our centrally located agency in the heart of downtown Moose Jaw.

 

Through the dedication of our volunteer board of directors and staff, we recognize the richness that diversity adds to our community. We encourage newcomers to proudly promote their heritage through venues such as the Motif Moose Jaw Multicultural Festival, a festival that was born from diverse cultures. We also recognize the skills and strengths that each newcomer arriving in Moose Jaw brings with them.

 

We hope that all newcomer’s embrace the “ Friendly City” as their new home and take advantage of the many services available in our agency and our community to make them feel welcome.
