A common theme emerged from these discussions – that to enhance the sense of belonging for residents of all backgrounds, local communities should be doing more to recognize and celebrate the diversity of individuals living in Leeds Grenville.

Diversity has long been a strength of Canada – culturally, socially, politically and economically. What better time to recognize this diversity than the year of Canada’s 150th birthday? On July 5, 2017, the St. Lawrence – Rideau Immigration Partnership launched a campaign entitled ‘We Are Neighbours’. This community-driven campaign is aimed at recognizing and celebrating the diversity of individuals found throughout Leeds Grenville. Through a combination of social media posts, short online stories, print posters, and a community engagement display, the Immigration Partnership and its partners hope to inspire dialogue and connection among Leeds Grenville residents.
