The newly named Immigrant Services Guelph Wellington (formerly Guelph and District Multicultural Center) is now at Paisley and Imperial Rd beside M&M Meats. The centre has moved from the little basement apartment on Speedvale to a 3800 square foot high ceiling facility, and added three more settlement workers, a new executive director, and administration staff thanks to new funding from Citizenship Immigration Canada and continued funding from the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration Newcomer Settlement Program. Services include language assessment and training, employment services, and counceling from the immigration settlement adaptation program. Please drop by Saturday May 9 between 11 and 12 for a tour of the facility, lunch from 12 to 1 and entertainment from 1 to 2. For more information on the agency please go to http://www.gdmc.org/.
The Guelph Chamber of Commerce sits on the Board of Directors, as do many of our member companies and organizations including Conestoga College, Lutherwood, Naylor MacLeod, English Language Consultants, TD Waterhouse, the City of Guelph, and the Ignatius Centre. Our chair was the past executive director of a similar agency in York District. Guelph is looking to add 31,000 jobs and 50,000 residents by 2031, and this agency will play a key role in helping people to make Guelph their new home.
