Durham Region, the Durham Local Immigration Partnership and local newcomer-serving organizations are marking Welcoming Week through September 19.
The annual campaign runs from September 10 to 19. The Region says it is intended to highlight community connections, newcomer participation and the work of organizations that support settlement and inclusion.
Events and newcomer services
The official Welcoming Week page provides a calendar of events taking place across Durham Region. It also links residents to newcomer services covering settlement, employment, housing, language, health care, mental health and community resources.
Event times, locations and program details may change. Residents should check the official program page before attending an event.
Regional information and planning resources
The program page includes newcomer stories, immigration and citizenship data, and the Durham Local Immigration Partnership’s 2025–2030 Community Inclusion Plan. It also describes regional advisory groups and links to tools for people settling in Durham.
The Region attributes economic, cultural and labour-force contributions to immigration and says its partnership works with community organizations to support newcomer integration. Those policy statements are the Region’s descriptions of its own programs and priorities.
