Just three days before the COVID-19 lock down occurred, the City of Fredericton issued its original call for nominations for this year’s Intercultural Awards. ...With the public focussed on safety and the many issues associated with the pandemic, people were focused elsewhere. As a result, the City is reissuing the call for nominations for the awards. There are two awards; one given to an individual and one to a group, organization or business that has demonstrated a sustained commitment and effort to enhance Fredericton’s cultural diversity, to promote interculturalism, to help combat prejudice, and/or to assist newcomers and immigrants in integrating to life in the community. If you know of an individual and /or group / organization / business that would be deserving of these awards, please nominate them by filling out the online form or downloading a printable copy from the City’s website at www.fredericton.ca/awards. The nomination deadline is now Friday, October 2nd, 2020 at 8 am. Full details https://bit.ly/2RR64fP

Non-voting New Brunswickers: make your voice be heard! #LostVotes is the first of a longer set of initiatives to make the issues important to non-voting residents, refugees and international students be heard by candidates at the upcoming provincial election (and the municipal one next year too). Survey will be up until Thursday. Please share.

FYI, for any international students or young adults looking for affordable living arrangements.
