Welcome to the Welcoming Communities Project website.

The primary goal of this project is to support inclusive, welcoming and vibrant communities in Surrey, B.C. where immigrants can realize their full potential, racism is eliminated, and cultural diversity is valued and celebrated.

The WCP was made possible through funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.  This project would not be possible with out cooperative collaborations between numerous stakeholders in the community.  We are grateful for the participation, expertise and guiding support of every individual and organizaiton involved in the WCP.

This website will be ever-evolving with the goal of providing a one-stop location for information and links to assist newcomers as they settle into their new lives in Surrey.  This website will also provide information, stories and facts that will celebrate and value our cultural diversity and provide cross-cultural learning opportunities.

As a welcoming and inclusive community is built by every member of the community, we whole-heartedly welcome your comments and suggestions.  Please click on the comments/suggestion box to your left to help continue to build the WCP website.
