Newcomers’ Welcome Committee – École Canadienne française de Saskatoon
Ten years ago, École canadienne-française de Saskatoon was experiencing important growth in enrollment from immigrant families. In its efforts to be as welcoming and as inclusive as possible, the school put in place a Newcomers’ Welcome Committee (CANA) comprised of students and staff members.
Last November, during the 2017 Francophone Immigration Week, CANA coordinated an event where it was acknowledged that among the 170 students enrolled at the school, more than 23 nationalities were currently represented. The Réseau en immigration francophone de la Saskatchewan (RIF-SK) was proud to support this awareness event and recognizes the welcoming committee’s success.
The RIF-SK is a provincial francophone roundtable consisting of 13-member organizations facilitating the development of services and resources for Francophone immigrants in Saskatchewan. The RIFSK works with community and government stakeholders to promote Francophone immigration in Saskatchewan.
Administered by the Conseil économique et coopératif de la Saskatchewan (CÉCS). RIF-SK works with Regina Region Local Immigration Partnership (RRLIP) and Saskatchewan Association of Immigrant Settlement and Integration Agencies (SAISIA).
