We’re grateful to DIVERSEcity client Rukshani for sharing her settlement story with CBC News yesterday. The Government of British Columbia announced major new funding for its BC Settlement and Integration Services, which is "good news” said Neelam Sahota, CEO, to CBC. “We’re able to put more programs in place.” ![]()

Stories like Rukshani’s show the impact an organization like DIVERSEcity can have on their journey. "I was feeling isolated when I first arrived in Canada," she says. "I was provided with resources to help me find affordable housing for my family in Surrey. DIVERSEcity has helped in preparing me for success in Canada in all aspects." ![]()

With the increasing number of newcomers, more funding has been sorely needed to help newcomers make BC their home. This increase in funding will aid in expanding the sector’s capacity to provide vital services to newcomers. ![]()
