Why Immigration Matters
Immigration plays an important role in the economic growth and cultural diversity of our community.
It’s vital to hear the stories of individuals choosing to live and work in Greater Sudbury. Greater Together was launched by the Local Immigration Partnership in collaboration with the City of Greater Sudbury telling immigration stories that celebrate Greater Sudbury’s cultural diversity.
Our Immigration Matters infographic demonstrates the value of immigration to help create a vibrant and strong community.
