Black History Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Black Canadians who have shaped our communities, history, and culture. At IRCOM, we are committed to fostering an inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. This month, we reflect on the resilience, achievements, and impact of Black leaders, past and present, while continuing to work toward a future of equity and opportunity for all.

Our HEY Program thanks @telus and @friendlyfuturefoundation for providing funding for new technology! We have made significant impacts through new laptops, projectors, microscopes, and now a digital glove to enhance our students` learning as we support them through their studies. HEY program provides additional learning opportunities and drop-in homework support for newcomer youth in grades 7-12 to help recover topics that can be missed through disrupted schooling and inspire youth to reach their educational goals.
“Our youth don’t have access to technology and laptops on their own, so being able to provide them for the program is a huge benefit. They use Google Classroom for all their assignments, so being able to access it away from school allows them to take control of their learning”-HEY Staff
“Using laptops at HEY lets me learn how to use them, which will help me in school, future jobs, and when I go to University. Without laptops, I wouldn’t be able to do my homework.”- HEY student

IRCOM’s Newcomer Literacy Initiative (NLI) program provides newcomers with essential English skills for daily life, supporting over 60 learners and their children through four classrooms. With on-site childcare, language supports, and strong community partnerships, we create an inclusive space where students can thrive.

Our dedicated volunteers play a vital role in this journey, offering extra support that enhances the learning experience. Their commitment helps students gain confidence and build the skills they need to navigate life in Canada.

Thank you to our volunteers for making a meaningful impact.
