Message from our Executive Director
We are each other’s strength.
As we step into a new fiscal year, Canada finds itself at a crossroads—a moment calling us to rediscover our collective strength, lean on one another, and build something new together. For those of us in the settlement sector, that call feels deeply personal.
Immigration numbers are shifting and the landscape of our work is changing. But if there’s one thing I know about this sector, and the people in it, it’s that we are adaptable. We have navigated change before. We will again.
At Global Gathering Place, our commitment remains the same: to show up for every person who walks through our doors and to help them find their footing in their new home. That work only happens because of people like you.
“Thank you for standing alongside the newcomers we serve. We are in this together—and we are not going anywhere.”
Ways to be part of what we’re building:
Support Ride for Refuge – October 3
This fall marks our fifth year hosting Ride for Refuge Saskatoon. It’s a chance to show up in solidarity, celebrate the newcomers in our community, and raise vital funds for GGP. Help us by spreading the word and connecting us with potential sponsors at your workplace.
Your membership directly supports GGP’s essential programs and services and is a great way to get involved and become an integral part of our community.
Your monthly gift will directly support language classes, settlement services, and programming, as well as the incredible team that newcomers rely on every day.
Whether you’ve been with us for years or are just getting to know our work, your involvement matters. This community we all call home is stronger because you are in it.
