This celebration will fall at the beginning of Welcoming Week, which is an annual opportunity that brings new and long-time residents together to build stronger ties. It affirms the importance of welcoming and inclusive places and spaces and gives partner organizations an opportunity to connect with newcomers in the community. This year Welcoming Week takes place from September 10-19 and is being celebrated with a variety of events taking place across Guelph – Wellington.
“Volunteers are truly at the core of what makes Wellington North such a vibrant community. As we celebrate Welcome Week, we’re proud to recognize the dedication of our volunteers, warmly welcome new residents, and highlight the inclusive spirit that makes this a great place to live, work, and raise a family,” said Mayor Andy Lennox. “Whether you’re new to the community or have been here for many years, I encourage you to join us for this special event.”
