The Cultural Connections Community Connect Group brings together students from a wide range of cultural, ethnic, racial, linguistic, national, international, and Indigenous backgrounds. This group provides opportunities for students to celebrate cultural diversity, share traditions, learn from one another’s experiences, and build meaningful cross-cultural connections while fostering respect for the unique histories, cultures, and identities.
Whether students are new to Canada, international students, first-generation Canadians, Indigenous students, racialized students, or students from multicultural backgrounds who are interested in connecting through culture and shared experiences, this community offers a welcoming environment to build friendships and foster belonging.
This group may be of interest to students who identify as:
- International students
- Newcomers to Canada
- First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students
- Racialized students
- Students from multicultural, multi-ethnic, or multilingual backgrounds
- Students seeking cultural connection and community
- Students interested in learning about diverse cultures and perspectives
Students are welcome to attend any Community Connect Group that aligns with their identity, lived experience, or personal connection to the community represented. Come as you are and join the conversation as we celebrate diversity, share experiences, and build meaningful connections.
“I wanted to see what it was about. It made me familiar with the cultures, practices and traditions of other peoples. It also helped me realize how we are not too different. We were all adjusting to a new environment and tackling the struggles of studying far away from home.” First Year Resident Student
