On World Refugee Day, we pause to honour the strength, resilience, and contributions of refugee communities in Winnipeg and beyond.
At IRCOM, we are reminded every day that newcomers bring not only stories of survival but also deep potential, talent, and hope for the future.
We also recognize the quiet, consistent work of our staff, who walk alongside families as they navigate unfamiliar systems, learn new skills, and find their sense of home.
Together, we continue to build a community where every newcomer feels seen, supported, and empowered.

To the fathers who lead with quiet strength, gentle hands, and open hearts, thank you.

Today, we honour the dads, father figures, and mentors who show up every day with love, resilience, and care.

Your presence shapes the future in ways words can’t always express.

Happy Father’s Day. ❤️

Mini humans, little souls, endless joy.
There’s something special about seeing children laugh, play, and feel free, especially in a space where they are safe, celebrated, and surrounded by community. These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.

Our Ellen Program Room has undergone a big change, creating a more welcoming, functional space for our community to gather, learn, and connect.

This renovation was made possible through the Essential Needs Fund, a partnership between the Richardson Foundation and United Way Winnipeg @unitedwaywpg . Their support is helping us meet the evolving needs of newcomer families.

IRCOM had the incredible opportunity to partner in bringing hundreds of newcomers to experience the Manito Ahbee Pow Wow. For many, it was their very first Pow Wow—a powerful and moving celebration of culture, spirit, and community. Our families felt welcomed, amazed, and truly honoured by the generosity and warmth of Manito Ahbee. Congratulations on 20 remarkable years of sharing Indigenous culture and traditions.

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! 💜

Thanks to IRCOM’s Asset and Capacity-Building Program, newcomer families at IRCOM are building strong financial foundations. With access to financial literacy training, matched savings, access to benefits and personalized support, participants are gaining the confidence to plan for the future and invest in what matters most. Together, we’re creating pathways to long-term stability and success. We want to thank IG Wealth Management for their long-standing support of these impactful programs that are delivered as part of the Empower Manitoba Network.

Two first-place finishes. One unforgettable day on the field.⚽️

Our Under 16 Girls and Under 17/18 Boys teams both came out on top this July with a 1-0 win for the girls and a 3-2 victory for the boys!

Sports are more than just a game for newcomer children and youth. They’re a way to belong, to build confidence, and to feel proud of who they are and where they’re going.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported from behind the scenes, or sent encouragement from afar. And to our amazing coaches — Selam, Ryan, Ajang, Matthew, and Betty. Thank you for creating a space where our youth can grow, lead, and thrive.
