“The AMBM is proud to offer you touching, human stories that showcase newcomers and their influence within their host community. I would like to thank these people, as well as the thousands of others who choose our municipalities to settle here with their families. To give themselves a fresh start. To plant new roots. Each and every one of you enriches our communities with your joie de vivre, your enthusiasm, your unique and innovative know-how. Thanks to you, our communities are all the more vibrant and open to the world. Welcome to your new home!”

Ivan Normandeau
President, AMBM
Deputy Reeve, Rural Municipality of La Broquerie

Every year Winnipeg is a destination of choice for thousands of immigrants from all over the world. However, more and more nowcomers are choosing the quality of life our rural municipalities offer to settle with their families. In rural Manitoba, as throughout the province, our values of hospitality, sharing and our sense of community are very strong. Each Wednesday, discover moving and human stories about these newcomers who are incredible assets in our communities. I can’t wait to hear from you!
