Life At IRCOM

At IRCOM, learning never stops — not just for our newcomers, but for our team too!
We recently hosted a Staff Gallery Walk, giving our staff an interactive way to explore and deepen their understanding of the programs that support our community every day.
Building stronger connections starts from within! 💬🌟

Hockey isn’t just a game — it’s a gateway to connection, confidence, and community.
Thanks to the Daryl K. Seaman Canadian Hockey Fund at the Calgary Foundation, IRCOM’s After School Program brings newcomer children to the rink from October to March — fully equipped and ready to play.
By removing barriers and creating space to learn Canada’s favorite sport, we’re building belonging, one skate at a time.
Thank you, Calgary Foundation @calgfoundation , for making this possible. ❤️

IRCOM’s Research and Evaluation team, along with one of our Youth Program Support Workers, recently traveled to Calgary to connect with other youth-serving organizations. This Community of Practice meeting—funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada and led by PREVNet (@prevnet )—focused on preventing gender-based violence among youth.
While there, the IRCOM team also visited the Calgary Public Library (@calgarylibrary ) and explored the Canadian Council for Refugees (@ccrweb ) exhibit about refugees in Canada—an important reminder of the resilience and contributions of newcomer communities.
By sharing knowledge and strengthening partnerships, we’re working towards safer, more inclusive spaces for young people. Stay tuned for an upcoming announcement about IRCOM’s new gender-based violence prevention programming! 💜

A huge congratulations to the IRCOM U17/18 boys on an outstanding indoor season. They finished as champions for 2024/2025. Their hard work, teamwork, and dedication paid off in the finals last weekend.
Shoutout to the U16 Girls team for a strong season and a well-earned playoff run. Our U14 Boys also made an impressive midseason comeback, securing a playoff spot. We are incredibly proud of all our athletes and deeply grateful to our coaches for their leadership, encouragement, and support—on and off the field.
Thank you to our staff, parents, and community members who showed up, cheered on our teams, and supported our youth throughout the season.
A special thank you to The Winnipeg Foundation (@wpgfdn )for its generous support. Through the community grant, we were able to provide pre-game snacks, training gear, and help remove barriers like transportation—ensuring all youth had the opportunity to participate. Your contributions make a real impact, and we are truly grateful.

Circle of Friends is a key part of our After School Program, designed to support 12 and 13-year-olds as they transition from children’s programs into youth programming with confidence. Through this program, young youth take part in more independent outings—like visiting The Leaf—while also learning about self-care, personal hygiene, and personal safety. They build friendships, develop essential skills, and gain the knowledge they need to navigate this new stage safely. Creating a supportive space, we help ensure a smooth transition and set them up for success in our youth programs.

Celebrating the Strength, Resilience, and Leadership of Women.

At IRCOM, we believe in building communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women—leaders, innovators, and changemakers—who shape our world every day.

From overcoming challenges to creating new opportunities, women continue to break barriers and drive change. We are proud to support and uplift the voices of newcomer women, ensuring they have the resources, support, and opportunities to succeed.

When women rise, communities flourish.
