The Immigrant Welcome Centre is hosting a unique look today into the life of someone new to the region.

It is holding a community forum in Campbell River today where participants will be given a name tag with someone else’s name.

The pseudonym will be accompanied by a card that shares a piece of an immigrant’s story about settling on the North Island.

That card will be the start of a journey to find and access the various community services needed to help you settle in a new hometown.

Today’s forum is happening at the Robron Centre from 2pm to 4pm.

There will be another event in Courtenay on November 18th at the Native Sons Hall.

Get details at Immigrant Welcome Centre.
