COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS PROJECT
“Community Champions” is a media campaign led by the South Okanagan-Similkameen Local Immigration Partnership and supported by Castanet. We share stories that raise awareness about the contribution immigrants make to the community while introducing the small businesses of new Canadians. The stories are published and promoted by local media partners.

2021-2022 Stories

In 2021-2022 we expanded our Community Champions project to develop videos and podcast. The stories were also compiled in a booklet that became a part of the anti-racism “Unbox” project:

The videos became a part of the annual OneWorld Festival and are available here:
