Life At IRCOM

Our leadership team spent the day away from the office at the University of Winnipeg, digging into the policies that shape how we work. Taking this time helps us align our decisions with our mission and keep our vision front and centre.

Every home holds a story. For anyone building a new life, that story often begins with a place to call home. At IRCOM, housing is more than four walls. It’s where belonging takes root and community comes alive.

When a family moves into an IRCOM apartment, they’re not just handed keys. They’re welcomed into a space that supports growth and connection, helping parents find jobs, guiding children through school, and offering programs that build confidence and independence.

We empower newcomer families as they settle and integrate into Canadian life. Stable, affordable housing is the foundation for success. From that foundation grows confidence, opportunity, and community.

IRCOM works toward a Manitoba where every newcomer feels at home, valued, and included. Guided by respect, diversity, empowerment, and collaboration, we continue to build spaces where belonging is lived every day through shared meals, laughter in hallways, and friendships that cross cultures.

Today, on National Housing Day, we celebrate housing as a human right and a cornerstone of belonging. Because when people have a safe home, they have the power to build their future.

In September, we came together for Meet the Neighbours, a vibrant gathering held in partnership with amazing partners in the Centennial neighbourhood, especially our good friends at Rossbrook House, stories were shared, cultures connected, and bridges were built between newcomers and Indigenous communities. Thanks to the support of Canadian Heritage, this event sparked meaningful connections across cultures.🌿🤝” #CanadianHeritage @alexjayhamm @rbhwpg @cdn.heritage ...

Did you see the joy on their faces? Our newcomer kids dressed up and headed out for trick and treating with so much excitement.

Thank you to every staff member and volunteer who helped them get ready and made the day feel special. What this really means is that together we’re creating moments that help families feel connected, confident, and welcomed in their new community.

Grateful for everyone who made Halloween a little brighter for our newcomer families.

We had a wonderful time connecting with Wawanea staff at the United Way Agency Showcase. It was a chance to share our work, meet so many engaged people, and celebrate the impact we can create together.

A big thank you to Wawanesa for hosting us and to United Way for bringing partner agencies into one room. Conversations like these remind us how much stronger our community becomes when we show up for one another.

Community Clean Up 2025 felt like a big hug.

Everyone rolled up their sleeves, grabbed gloves and tools, and worked side by side to care for the place we all call home.

Thank you to every tenant, volunteer, and team member who showed up, pitched in, and made a real difference. Your time, energy, and heart are what keep this community strong.

Through IRCOM’s Community Resource Program (CRP), newcomer families recently took part in two meaningful initiatives supported by the Province of Manitoba – Labour and Immigration.

The first, Indigenous Teachings with Knowledge Keeper Strong Eagle (John Houle), offered participants an opportunity to learn about Indigenous culture and history. The second, a group mental health workshop, invited participants to express their stories and identities through art, strengthening wellbeing and community connection.

Thank you to the Province of Manitoba – Labour and Immigration for funding this program and supporting the well-being of newcomer families in our community.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at IRCOM.
Today, we take a moment to pause, give thanks, and celebrate the spirit of community that brings us together.

Our offices are closed today, and we’ll reopen tomorrow.

As we reflect on gratitude, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the City of Winnipeg (Winnipeg Food Council) and the USANA Foundation for supporting IRCOM’s Greening Program and helping newcomer families grow, learn, and connect through community gardening.

Wishing you a day filled with warmth, connection, and gratitude.

Community support makes all the difference.

Thank you to United Way Winnipeg and Shermco Industries for donating school supplies to help newcomer families get ready for the school year. Your generosity helps ensure children start the year confident, equipped, and excited to learn.

On September 30, we honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
It’s a day to remember the children who never returned home, to acknowledge survivors and their families, and to commit to the work of reconciliation.

At IRCOM, we stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities and recognize that building welcoming communities begins with truth, respect, and healing.
