Nov 7 2024

Event Details

Where: Civic Hotel, Surrey, BC
Date: November 7
When: 11:30am - 3:30pm

Migrant workers bring invaluable contributions to the Canadian economy and are essential in multiple sectors. As highlighted by a recent United Nations report, many migrant workers experience unsafe and unfair working conditions. Now is the time to act to be part of the change that must happen.

The DIVERSEcity’s C.A.R.E. for Migrant Workers program collaborates with local community partner organizations in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Delta, Langley, Richmond, Surrey, White Rock and other regions of B.C. to support, empower and foster a sense of community among migrant workers.

Join us for DIVERSEcity’s Rights in Focus: Migrant Workers Advocacy Forum, an insightful forum where participants can connect, share best practices, address key issues and collaborate to enhance support for migrant workers and advocates for migrant workers’ rights and benefits. As a policy maker, advocacy group member, business owner, or leader, your unique perspectives and influence are crucial in this discussion.

Attendees: Up to two representatives per organization

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
