Thank you for taking part in this survey. Skeena Diversity Society and the Greater Terrace Welcoming Network are looking to understand what immigrants like yourself are dealing with to help us deliver better programs and affect building a more welcoming and inclusive Terrace. Your participation really matters!

If you would like to get involved with our projects or have an idea/action please contact us.

Skeena Diversity Society provides a broad spectrum of settlement services from language to immigration, employment supports and community connections as well as anti-racism training for the community. We organize events that promote understanding of multiculturalism and diversity in the community and encourage celebrations of our uniqueness while building a vibrant inclusive community.

The Greater Terrace Welcoming Network, led by Skeena Diversity, is a community partnership of local organizations that work together to help support newcomer integration. This includes aligning services and identifying gaps, as well as helping prepare the local community for newcomers by focusing on diversity and inclusion, awareness and understanding of newcomers' needs.
