IRCC's PNT Regional Director and Ottawa Ukrainian Support Group Director Visit AHC's Office

This past Friday, October 27th, IRCC's PNT Regional Director and Ukrainian Support Group Director in Ottawa visited the AHC Edmonton office.  The IRCC team had the opportunity to learn more about our supports and services for the Ukrainian evacuees since their arrival in Alberta, as well as the challenges they face and how to support them going forward. In addition, we were able to hear more about the work being done to support Ukrainian newcomers at a systemic level and within different Canadian communities.

Connecting with the IRCC team allowed us to walk away from the visit with a reinvigorated sense of pride in how we can provide innovative services and supports at the community level, collaboratively learning from each other’s experiences across Canada.
