A Thriving Community Where Everyone Belongs
Belonging creates stronger communities.
Every day, newcomers across Greater Victoria are building careers, raising families, starting businesses, sharing their talents, and enriching our community. ICA works alongside people as they build connections, navigate new systems, develop skills, and make a future for themselves and their families.
With your support, we're creating opportunities for the skills, experiences, and leadership newcomers bring to strengthen our community.

Participation
People contribute their talents, experiences, and leadership to community life.
Welcome

people

learners building skills and confidence
people

Each number represents people building connections, opportunities, and futures in Greater Victoria
Create lasting impact
Belonging isn't built in a day. It grows through relationships, opportunities, and community connections over time.
Monthly giving helps ensure people can access support when they need it, build lasting connections, develop skills, and contribute their talents throughout the year.
