Rural Immigration Workshops

Introduction

Welcoming newcomers to a rural community is important to fill skill gaps in the workplace, bring diversity to the region, and attract new residents. The Rural Immigration initiative at RDN is a response to the emerging needs of rural communities to develop capacity in welcoming, retaining and settling newcomers into their towns. Book a workshop with a Rural Immigration team member to under the needs of newcomers both professionally and personally to settle in rural communities for the long-term.

Workshops Offered

Immigration as a Rural Workforce Strategy Workshop

(2-3 hours)

Several rural communities have identified immigration as a workforce strategy for helping businesses fill employment gaps, bring diverse skills to the region, and attract new residents to spend money at local businesses. As a business owner or manager, do you have the systems in place to help newcomers succeed at work and in their family life? Learn about the hiring processes, including onboarding and retention, that create success for employees. Also learn about the supports needed to help newcomer employees and their families find connection and well-being in your community.

Community Strategy to Welcome Newcomers Workshop

(3-4 hours)

In order for a community to find success with welcoming newcomers, businesses, non-profits organizations and community members need to be on the same page to create a welcoming and connected community for newcomers to stay long-term. Learn about the ways that you can create this environment for your new residents. Our Rural Immigration team will also take you through the steps to develop your own community strategy to connect supports in the region, while creating a connected and welcoming community for newcomers to belong to. The strategy can be utilized to create action plans that implement strategic structure into daily activities.

Introduction

We are all learning on this reconciliation journey with Indigenous Peoples and guidance can help us on our way. Book a workshop with RDN’s Indigenous Liaison to assist your team in connecting words and actions in their work to create allyship with Indigenous Peoples. Below are two workshops that RDN can conduct for your team and we also can customize training to your unique needs. These workshops are interactive and meant for smaller groups, so they are limited to 15 people.

Workshops Offered

Personal Land Acknowledgement Workshop

(3-4 hours)

Land acknowledgements are a first step in recognizing and showing respect for Indigenous Peoples. By making land acknowledgements more personalized, a person can demonstrate their commitment to reconciliation through genuine connection and empathy to further relationships with Indigenous Peoples. RDN’s Indigenous Liaison will conduct a workshop with your team to open the conversation about reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, how to personalize your land acknowledgement, and the allyship created from meaningful land acknowledgements.

This workshop creates a safe space to have conversation, create understanding, and demonstrate the power of connecting our words and actions to reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.

Incorporating TRC and UNDRIP into Your Work & Teams Workshop (3-4 hours)

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada identified 94 Calls of Action to foster truth, reconciliation, and healing with Indigenous Peoples as well as the United Nations developed its United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples framework for reconciliation, healing and peace with Indigenous Peoples. Learn from RDN’s Indigenous Liaison how to identify the TRC and UNDRIP Calls to Action that are relevant to your team’s work, how to include these Calls to Action in your work planning, and how to create meaningful allyship with Indigenous Peoples in your daily work.

This workshop is a safe space to have conversations, create learnings, dispel myths, and demonstrate the power of actions to create allyship with Indigenous Peoples.

Introduction

In rural settings, fostering age-friendly environments is not just a choice; it’s a necessity. By embracing age-friendly principles, rural communities can enhance quality of life, promote social cohesion, and drive sustainable development for generations to come. Our workshop is designed to provide an overview of the development and implementation of an age-friendly action plan based on the eight domains of age-friendly communities as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO):  

  • Outdoor Spaces and Buildings 
  • Transportation 
  • Housing 
  • Social Participation 
  • Respect and Social Inclusion 
  • Work and Civic Engagement 
  • Communication and Information 
  • Community and Health Services 

Topics Covered

We will walk through the community engagement and outreach process (who should be involved), community needs assessment, data collection, age-friendly action plan framework development, and implementation.
