Diversity Summer Event

CORD invites you to its all-day Diversity Summer Event at St. Theresa’s Parish Hall on the 29th of July.

The Coalition on Richer Diversity (CORD) is an umbrella organization, formed in 2007 in Newfoundland and Labrador, that enriches the community by bringing people together and being a resource. It reaches out to organizations, groups of immigrants and those who provide services in the community to collaborate, to offer networking opportunities, and to grow to be diversity sensitive.

Diversity Workshop. From 9:00 a.m. until 3p.m., we will discuss networking and its role in an increasingly diverse community such as St. John's. Lunch is provided. Come voice your concerns and ideas!

As coffee breaks, refreshments and lunch will be provided, we greatly appreciate you RSVP by July 22th.

Join us for a fundraising dinner for RIAC at St. Theresa's Parish Hall on the evening of July the 29th.

The Refugee Immigrant Advisory Council (RIAC) has been working for the last 30 years to improve access to crucial and hard to access services for refugees and immigrants. This can be difficult at times, especially when money is an issue.

Doors open at 6:30 and dinner begins at 7:00 p.m. Come bid on our Silent Auction while enjoying a delicious Colombian meal and music and dance from all over the world. Salsa Roca will spice up the night with salsa beats and dancers will show us moves from home and all over the world.
