Spotlight on Newcomers

Our executive director, Andy Cragg, discusses NCC’s role in supporting immigrants and newcomers and helping to make Peterborough a welcoming community on OMNI Television’s New Canadians program.
We were proud to see our executive director, Andy Cragg, appear on a recent episode of OMNI Television’s New Canadians program, enthusiastically talking up Peterborough and telling the NCC story!
The New Canadians program is a weekly review of news and issues of interest to newcomers and explores what multiculturalism looks like across our communities.
The interview aired originally on January 23 and focused on the newcomer experience in Peterborough, the various programs, support systems, community connections and activities that the NCC makes available to accelerate their settlement journey, as well as tips on how to meet people, get established, integrate, and feel a sense of belonging.
OMNI is Canada’s only multilingual multicultural television broadcaster, offering a wide range of programming in more than 20 languages.
