WRIP @ CIES

In participation with the EST Department, the WRIP Department attended a YYC Welcoming Fair at the BMO Centre, Hall B at the Calgary Stampede Grounds this month where over 75 booths were set up, including employers and services available to newcomers.

CIES had a booth set up with banners and marketing materials and provided valuable information and assistance to over 200 newcomers.  Many signed up for the numerous educational opportunities and programs available at CIES.
