Welcoming Week 2024

Welcoming Week information poster, September 13 to September 22nd, details in body of post.

Welcoming Week is an annual opportunity to recognize and celebrate the people, places and values that help everyone feel welcome and give them a sense of belonging in their local community, no matter where they come from.

This year’s Welcoming Week takes place from September 13 - 22. We recognize the important work of many immigrant settlement organizations in this space. Welcoming Week is an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of these activities.  Successful integration is a two-way street: the more welcoming communities are, the more newcomers feel at home and contribute locally.

During this Welcoming Week, the Fort Frances Public Library will be holding a number of events and activities to increase awareness for locals and enhance the welcoming newcomers receive.  We invite you to be a part of this Welcoming Week! Details as to these upcoming events will be coming to you shortly.
