Webinar: Outreach Strategies for Migrant Worker Service Providers

February 16, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am

As newcomers to Canada, migrant workers often require support during their stay. Migrant worker support organizations take on a variety of outreach activities to improve workers’ understanding of how to protect themselves from COVID-19, their rights in the workplace, services available to them, as well as information on how to access health, income and emergency supports when needed.

In this webinar we will examine the following:

  • What are different types of outreach strategies to migrant worker communities in Canada, including in-person and virtual strategies?
  • What are challenges impacting outreach to migrant workers?
  • What are best and promising practices for outreach to migrant worker communities, especially those in remote areas?
  • Case studies of examples of successful outreach to migrant worker communities in Canada by support organizations.
