Currently, 45 per cent of the York Region’s population identifies itself as immigrants. By 2031, about 55 per cent of residents will be new immigrants, according to Jason Hastings, manager of human services strategy and partnerships for York Region.

To help build strong, inclusive communities within the region, a number of local sessions are being held. You can share your perspectives on immigration and cultural diversity as well as provide ideas on how to make the region more inclusive of the diversity that immigration brings, so the full economic, cultural and social potential of all residents can be realized.

The Whitchurch-Stouffville session takes place this Thursday at the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Entertainment – Nineteen on the Park, starting at 6:30 p.m.
