18 June 2009
You are invited to participate in the 2nd annual general meeting of the Coalition on Richer Diversity (CORD), taking place on June 18th at St. Theresa's Parish Hall in St. John's. Discussion will centre on welcoming communities: creating an environment that encourages new refugees and immigrants to stay in the region, put down roots, and make Newfoundland and Labrador their home.
The AGM will also acknowledge World Refugee Day - June 20th.
CORD is an umbrella organization that enriches the community by bringing people together and being a resource. It reaches out to organizations, groups of refugees and immigrants, and those who provide social services to collaborate, offer networking opportunities, and help them grow to be diversity-sensitive.
