CultureLink Newsletter - December 2018

The holiday season is a time to connect with friends, family and community, and to feel gratitude for the opportunities we have. In this edition of our newsletter, we share the excitement of our 30th anniversary Gala and the Newcomer Women's Empowerment Session. We invite you to view CultureLink's Welcoming Communities , a video documentary which captures the impact of our programs. We urge you to get warmed up with Wintegration, our program for the coldest months of the year. And if the spirit moves you, please consider making an end-of-year contribution to CultureLink. A charitable tax receipt is issued automatically for any donation made via our CanadaHelps page. Happy holidays!
