New partners selected to support visible minority newcomer women
Backgrounder
In December 2018, the government launched an expression of interest process as part of the Visible Minority Newcomer Women pilot to solicit proposals from new organizations. Twenty-two organizations from across Canada have been selected as part of this process, with one organization submitting two successful proposals. The government will provide up to $7.5 million in funding for these organizations over the next 2 years.
