The New Brunswick Multicultural Council Inc (NBMC) is a bilingual, not-for-profit, umbrella organization committed to supporting immigrant-serving agencies and multicultural and ethno-cultural associations in the province of New Brunswick. Since 1983, NBMC has facilitated member, government and community efforts to make New Brunswick the province of choice for both newcomers and residents, by enhancing the economic, social and cultural value of diversity.
Building Thriving Communities: A Beacon for Inclusive Growth: Increased capacity and stronger governance has positioned NBMC to significantly raise the profile on immigration challenges and opportunities, renew and extend key programs, tackle issues of systemic racism, and expand the reach of its work on equity of access to public services. NBMC's range of new partnerships and extended programs includes new agreements with the Government of New Brunswick, the launch and expansion of NBMC’s Rural Settlement Network to strengthen the quality and reach of settlement services and improve retention across the province, as well as an agreement to expand NBMC’s Head Start to Employment and Skills Launch Immigrant and Refugee Employability Project for youth and adults.
