Immigrant serving agencies play a vital role in welcoming newcomers and supporting their transition to life in a new community and country. In January 2011, four of Vancouver Island’s leading immigrant and multicultural service organizations came together to form the Vancouver Island Alliance, a collaborative initiative designed to strengthen services for immigrants and foster welcoming, inclusive communities across the Island.
The founding members include the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria, Cowichan Intercultural Society, Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society, and Campbell River Multicultural and Immigrant Services Association. These organizations signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance their collective capacity through collaboration, resource sharing, and staff connection.
