Staff Diversity at Global Gathering Place

The programs and services we provide at GGP reflect what we know to be true: that immigrants and refugees, when given the opportunity, make valuable contributions to all aspects of Canadian society. 

Every day we see the value that newcomers bring to our organization, with 60% of GGP staff members themselves refugees or immigrants. Beyond that, 20% of staff are former GGP clients, which gives them particularly unique perspectives.
