Welcoming Week is here, and as part of the celebration, we are reflecting on some of the ways that CNI creates meaningful experiences that help newcomers feel welcome in Manitoba. At RRC Polytech’s Centre for Newcomer Integration (CNI), welcoming newcomers is about more than starting classes. It is about creating meaningful experiences that help students build connections, settle into the community, and feel supported in their new lives in Manitoba.
Throughout the year, CNI organizes and participates in events that reflect this commitment. The Book Exchange, for example, invites students to share and discover books in English and other languages. This activity not only encourages learning, it also highlights the diverse backgrounds and stories that make up the CNI community.

The knowledge I carry came not from studying connection
but from living as the hyphen between worlds—
from understanding that relation survives every attempt at division.
Here, together, we make these relations visible again.
As Welcome Week begins, I want to share a story about what it means to live as relatives—not just with each other, but with the land and water that sustain us all.
Each September, RRC Polytech’s Centre for Newcomer Integration (CNI) joins communities across Canada in celebrating Welcoming Week — a time to recognize the contributions of newcomers and to build meaningful connections across cultures.
We’re starting a little early this year, with activities beginning September 11. From September 11 to 19, CNI will host events designed to bring students, staff and community partners together, creating opportunities for reflection, connection and celebration.
Welcoming Week is part of a global movement led in Canada by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The week provides a chance for newcomers, longtime residents and Indigenous communities to come together and celebrate the diversity that strengthens our province and our country
