The Immigrant Education Society hasn't added a story.

Reinforcing a Sense of Community Within Newcomers and Refugees in Calgary 

Although people come from different cultures and languages, there is one thing many of us have in common: a love of good food!

Newcomers to Canada, who often struggle with adapting to their new home and language, can find community, connection and empowerment through food: growing fresh ingredients, making traditional recipes, and sharing them with others.

To date, we, at The Immigrant Education Society (TIES), in partnership with The Alex, have created and completed a total of fifteen Newcomer Community Cookbook videos: instructional cooking videos by a refugee or newcomer, featuring their homemade dish. The Newcomer Community Cookbook was inspired by the success of our Gardens for Refugees and Other Newcomers Welcomed (GROW) project (funded in 2018 by the Calgary Foundation). GROW brought together a group of green-thumbed refugees and newcomers, who cared for a community garden together, culminating in a fall harvest celebration and shared meal. This project requires funds for the production and creation of the videos.

Due to the restrictions that came along with the recent pandemic, all activities related to the project have come to a pause. With your support, we wish to continue producing these videos and highlighting the different stories of refugees and immigrant participants at The Immigrant Education Society.
