Bow Valley Immigrant Inclusion Report and 2024 Integration Assessment
We’re all in for a welcoming & inclusive Bow Valley.
Help Us Build a Stronger Community for All.
We help the community embrace new residents so they can stay and thrive in the Bow Valley for a long time.
BVIP is a group of partners with representatives from every sector working together for a welcoming and inclusive Bow Valley. Our members include municipalities, community services, businesses, cultural groups, individuals, and more.
Anyone should be able to feel at home here, regardless of where they’ve arrived from or their immigration status - that's why we work to create the systemic change and cultural change that we need, so that nobody is left behind.
