Community Connections | Together for Justice (TFJ)

What makes a community feel like home? Connection, Belonging, Opportunities, Support 💙

Our Together for Justice (TFJ) workshop yesterday on the Employment Issues Topic brought immigrants, newcomers, international students, community members, and local partners together to build connections and strengthen access to information and community resources in Kawartha Lakes.

Through meaningful conversations and shared experiences, participants had an opportunity to:

✨ Learn about important labour market tools and resources

🤝 Connect with community organizations and people

🏡 Discover the resources for community belonging

💬 Ask questions and share experiences

🌱 Build relationships that can continue beyond the workshop

For many immigrants, newcomers, settling into a new community is about much more than finding a place to live or job. It is about finding people to connect with, building trust, navigating local systems, and most especially a safe space no matter your circumstances and the feeling that you belong

Thank you to everyone who participated, shared their experiences, and helped create a welcoming space yesterday at the Fleming College Frost Campus, Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada.

Together, we can build a Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton where newcomers and immigrants are welcomed, connections are strengthened, and everyone has an opportunity to belong. 💙
