TIES: Newcomer Community Cookbook
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.
