On June 2, 2026, RRC Polytech’s Centre for Newcomer Integration (CNI) hosted a special evening at the Manitoba Museum, bringing together students, staff, friends and families for a memorable night of learning, exploring and connection. 

More than 280 attendees participated in the event, including over 71 regional students along with their friends and family members. The strong turnout highlighted the enthusiasm and engagement of the CNI community, as well as the importance of creating opportunities for newcomers to come together in a welcoming and inclusive environment. 

Throughout the evening, students had the opportunity to explore the museum exhibits and learn about Manitoba’s history, nature and culture in an interactive and engaging setting. For many students, it was a valuable opportunity to deepen their understanding of life in Manitoba, while sharing the experience with loved ones. One student remarked, “The event was amazing. I discovered new things I had never seen before.” 

Events like this play an important role in supporting newcomer integration by fostering a sense of belonging, encouraging social connections, and providing meaningful cultural experiences. By participating in community activities, students can build confidence, strengthen their language skills, and create lasting memories. 

RRC Polytech extends its sincere thanks to the Manitoba Museum for hosting this special event, as well as to the staff and volunteers whose efforts made the evening possible. Their support helped create a welcoming and memorable experience for all who attended. When asked about their experience, one student commented, “I liked it all. It is amazing! I had a good experience. I recommend people to come and see.”

RRC Polytech’s CNI remains committed to providing enriching opportunities that support both the personal and educational journeys of students, helping them feel connected and empowered as they build their lives in Canada.
