It is Welcoming Week 2023 in Canada

On September 8, 2023, Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), stated that Canada welcomes more and more newcomers and celebrates inclusivity. Immigrants are an essential part of Canada’s cultural and economic fabric, contributing to innovation, filling labour market needs, and creating jobs. Canada will celebrate Welcoming Week 2023, a global initiative promoting community diversity and connections, until September 17, 2023. The Minister encouraged all Canadians to share their community’s successes on social media using #WelcomingWeek2023 to inspire others to be more welcoming.
