Partners Sought To Assist With Newcomer Integration

If you want to be a part in helping out Newcomers integrate into the community then there a few board opportunities which you might want to take advantage of.

Prairie Skies Integration Network is looking for partners to join its mission of advancing community-newcomer integration in Moose Jaw and across South-Central Saskatchewan.  

“At Prairie Skies, we are all about building welcoming communities. Our goal is to help our communities become more and more inclusive of newcomers—and to support these communities through the strengths newcomers bring with them,” Dalise Hector, Project Manager at Prairie Skies Integration Network said in a release. “We are seeking members for our two key bodies, the Partnership Council and the Immigrant Advisory Table.”

Both the Partnership Council and the Immigrant Advisory Table are made up of members who volunteer their time, skills, and knowledge to help Prairie Skies with its mission of enhanced community-newcomer integration. 

The two-year terms start in April 2021 and both groups meet every 3 months or so. Members also support with projects throughout the year.

The Immigrant Advisory Table is for newcomers (born outside Canada) who now live in South-Central Saskatchewan/ Moose Jaw.

The Partnership Council is seeking both community members, and those who represent a community organization or agency.

If you’re interested in getting involved, you can contact Dalise Hector at dalise.hector@psinetwork.ca or 306-690-2324.
