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 DIVERSEcityโ€™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 DIVERSEcityโ€™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 workersโ€™ 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.
