WHO WE ARE
Migrant Worker Community Program is a non-profit organization that helps migrant workers to assimilate into the community during their stay in Canada. We help them navigate the Canadian system by providing various services such as mental health support, connecting them to health services, legal services, insurance, translation and interpretation services, organizing recreational events among others to make sure that they feel welcomed and safe into the community.
Each year, approximately 6000 migrant workers are attracted to this area, a larger population than many small towns in Ontario.
​Our program is effective and critical in creating opportunities for integration of this large community into the resident population. MWCP fosters inclusion and welcoming of migrant workers through social, cultural, and recreational events. We function as a bridge between the migrant worker population and the community, based on the understanding that there is a cultural and language barrier that presents challenges in day-to-day interactions.

Provide a positive balance to the life of the migrant worker by offering educational, social, cultural, recreational, and communication opportunities, and to build cultural bridges with their host communities in Kingsville, Leamington, and surrounding areas.
OUR RECENT EVENTS
At MWCP, we strive to create meaningful experiences that uplift migrant workers and strengthen our community.
This year, we’ve celebrated International Women’s Day, Mother’s Day, and cultural festivals like the Carousel of Nations and Salu-Salo, each honoring the resilience, contributions, and traditions of migrant workers.
Through events such as our Health Fair, bringing together over 20 service providers for medical, dental, and wellness support and trips like our Niagara Falls outing, we foster connection, well-being, and joy beyond the workday.
Whether through music, food, sports, or shared stories, our gatherings create spaces for empowerment, cultural exchange, and unity, ensuring migrant workers feel valued, supported, and at home in our community.
FOCUS DURING COVID
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the program focused on educating migrant workers on how to reduce infection risks, what to do if infected, and how to access medical care. Through partnerships with local healthcare providers, MWCP helps workers overcome language barriers, navigate the healthcare system, and access essential health and safety information
