As Thanksgiving approaches, please note that CCIS offices will be closed on Monday, October 12, 2026, and will reopen on Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

This time of year offers an opportunity to slow down and appreciate the connections that support us through life's journey. Across our programs and communities, we are continually inspired by the determination of newcomers, the generosity of volunteers, the dedication of staff, and the many partners who help make our work possible.

Wherever and however you celebrate, we hope the long weekend brings time to recharge, connect with family and friends, and enjoy moments that matter most.

Wishing you a safe, restful, and happy Thanksgiving from all of us at CCIS. 🍂

to a vibrant celebration of Chilean culture in Banff! 🇨🇱

Our CCIS Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) team, in partnership with Bow Valley Latin Community, the Town of Banff, and local donors, helped bring the community together for a day filled with traditional food, music, dance, and connection.

The celebration featured a traditional Chilean lunch and Cueca folk dance demonstrations, followed by a cultural festival with live performances, empanadas, completos, and plenty of community spirit.

More than 550 people participated throughout the day, including many new and existing TFW clients. One of the highlights was welcoming participants who travelled from Calgary, Whistler, and even Toronto to join the festivities.

We are grateful to our partners, supporters, and everyone who attended for making this celebration such a success. Events like these help create connections, celebrate cultural traditions, and strengthen community ties.

Some of the most meaningful moments in a settlement journey happen when people come together to share experiences, exchange ideas, and support one another.

That spirit shaped our recent Temporary Foreign Workers (TFW) Breakfast Café, where participants came together to exchange practical advice, explore resources, and build relationships in a welcoming community.

Discussions touched on employment, taxes, community resources, volunteering opportunities, and the everyday realities of living and working in Canada. A sincere thank you to Jason Martega, CPA, representing Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA), for providing valuable professional and tax-related guidance, and to our Muzamil Kakar, CCIS Employment Counsellor, for sharing employment insights and resources.

Participants appreciated the opportunity to meet new people, ask questions in a relaxed setting, and gain practical information they can apply to their personal and professional lives.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such thoughtful conversations. We look forward to welcoming participants to future Breakfast Cafés.

Every Child Matters.

🧡 Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time to honour the Survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never returned home, and acknowledge the lasting impacts on Indigenous families and communities.

As we reflect on this day, we recognize the importance of learning about the histories, cultures, and experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

Simple ways to show your support today:
🧡 Wear an orange shirt
🧡 Attend a local community event
🧡 Take time to learn from Indigenous voices and stories
🧡 Have a conversation with family and friends about reconciliation

Last Saturday, the Sepak Takraw Championship brought together eight teams from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia for a day of competition and community in Medicine Hat.

Organized by CCIS's Temporary Foreign Worker team in Medicine Hat, the event brought together many Temporary Foreign Workers from Medicine Hat and Redcliff, along with players and spectators from Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, and beyond. Congratulations to the Medicine Hat team, who took home the championship title!

The tournament was a great opportunity for workers to connect through a sport that is popular in many Southeast Asian countries while also sharing their culture with the broader community. It was encouraging to see local residents come out to support and enjoy the event.

CCIS provides Temporary Foreign Worker services through service points across Southern Alberta, including Medicine Hat, Brooks, and Drumheller, helping workers access support and stay connected to their communities.
