Meet Tadiwa Kutiwa – Social Work Practicum Student at IRCOM

Tadiwa is currently studying Social Work at the University of Manitoba. Having arrived in Canada on her own, she understands firsthand the challenges that come with settling in a new country without family support.

After learning about IRCOM’s mission, Tadiwa felt inspired to join a team that helps newcomers find their footing and build a sense of belonging. She hopes to apply what she’s learning in school to real-world experiences at IRCOM, especially when it comes to addressing policies and systems that don’t always serve immigrants the way they should.

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.

Meet Jessica Cooper – Social Work Practicum Student.

Jessica is currently studying Social Work at the University of Manitoba. As an immigrant herself, she brings a deep understanding of the challenges newcomers face when settling into a new country. Her goal is to support others by helping them access resources, build connections, and find a sense of belonging, especially when family is far away.

Through her practicum at IRCOM, Jessica hopes to learn how to create safe, welcoming spaces for newcomers and carry those lessons into her future work in social services.

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.

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.

Welcoming communities are strong communities, and at IRCOM, that spirit starts with our own team.

Did you know that 21% of our staff are former IRCOM tenants? For many, IRCOM isn’t just a first home in Canada, it’s also a first career. Within just three years, newcomers are building stability, contributing to the economy, and giving back to the community in powerful ways.

If you’re looking for meaningful work where your impact is felt every day, join us. Together, we’re building belonging.

New to Winnipeg, Canada? Every newcomer is part of a bigger picture, helping to strengthen Canada’s economy and communities. Welcome!

At IRCOM, we exist to be that first community for families who arrive in Canada with no connections and no support system. Through affordable transitional housing, programs, and services, we empower newcomers to build stability, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

In just three short years, many families who once came to us seeking a helping hand are now giving back: working, studying, volunteering, and strengthening the very community that welcomed them. As one community member told us, “Now I’m giving back to help my community.”

That is the spirit of inclusion and belonging we are proud to celebrate during Welcoming Week.

At IRCOM, Welcoming Week is more than a celebration. It’s a reflection of who we are. We exist to be that first community for families who are brand new to Canada, offering a helping hand and a safe place to belong.

In those first three years, newcomers build confidence, find stability, and begin contributing in incredible ways—from working and studying to volunteering and giving back. Many of the families who once arrived seeking support now tell us, “I’m giving back to help my community.”

That’s the spirit of inclusion and belonging we’re proud to honour during Welcoming Week.

On August 23, IRCOM joined the North End Community Renewal Corporation and the Sákihiwé Festival for Picnic in the Park. It was a wonderful gathering for the North End community, and our henna artists were there to share their talent and creativity. The park was full of smiles, conversation, and connection. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to take part.

The HEY Program at IRCOM is about more than learning. It’s about creating opportunities, building confidence, and celebrating the potential of newcomer youth. The HEY Scholarship is one way we invest in their education and future.

Today, we’re proud to recognize the achievements of Nahom, Dehab, Hirian, and Sitayesh. Their dedication and resilience inspire us all, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish next.

Our next post will highlight student appreciations from the HEY Program, another way we celebrate the incredible journeys of newcomer youth.

Opportunities like this shape futures. The HEY Scholarship is more than financial support; it’s an investment in the dreams, education, and potential of youth from our newcomer families.

This year, we celebrate the incredible achievements of Mariam Wancha, Rakeib Keffla, and Sinobe Igirubuntu.

We’ll be highlighting a few more inspiring students in our next post. Stay tuned!

Your hard work, resilience, and dedication inspire our community. We can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make in the years ahead.

Harvesting joy, one garden at a time! 🌱

Through IRCOM’s Greening Program, families are not only growing fresh produce but also building connections, skills, and a sense of belonging.

A big thank-you to the USANA Foundation for making this possible and helping us turn seeds into smiles. 💚
