Conference: "Together We Prosper: Practical Resources for Immigrant Integration"

The Peterborough Partnership Council on Immigrant Integration is organising a one-day conference to provide information to make our community and workplaces more welcoming to immigrants. The workshops will include information on the business case for immigration, how to develop a diversity policy for your organization, diversity training, an introduction to the services and supports for employers, and how to recruit and select foreign-trained professionals.

The conference will take place on Thursday March 25, from 8:30am to 4:30pm at the Holiday Inn. There will be an evening social event from 7-10pm, which is a dance with live Marimba music at the Holiday Inn. Registration for the conference is $25, and includes admission to the evening social event.
