Ben Collins celebrated his birthday over the weekend and instead of receiving gifts asked friends to donate to the ANC!
He raised $160 and brought it to our office this morning! Ben, we wish you a happy birthday from the entire ANC team, and want to thank you so very much! 🍁
The employees at A. Harvey Group of Companies deserve a huge thank you for their contribution of $5,000 today! 🙏
This year, instead of their usual Christmas party, the employees participated in a Spirit of Giving campaign, choosing the ANC as one of their charities.
THANK YOU!
Yalda Night, Dec 21, is celebrated by Iranians and Afghans + others. On the longest and darkest night of the year friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry (especially Hafez) and the Shahnameh until well after midnight. https://t.co/AFllN6vD2c

Making connections @mdjh. Listening to Marion Counsel, with St John's Storytellers. She brings us, through recitations, to her childhood on Red Island. First up: a story of being covered in a flipped barrel of rendering cod livers. 😳 Amazing Monday AM. @CAYPTeamANC@NLESDCA
"I think that everyone should feel safe and included in all areas in society. So I think that it's really amazing how we were recognized for our effort to raise awareness about it." - Alexia Bishop, Grade 7 student and co-winner of the 2021 Anti-Racism and Inclusivity Youth Award
We are so proud to partner with @GovNL in attracting, settling, and retaining newcomers in NL.
In addition to fostering opportunities for communities to receive skilled individuals from around the world, you are providing comfort to those seeking a brighter, safer tomorrow. 🍁
In St. John's last week, @Skills_NL met with our students, including young Afghan newcomers.
Students who left their homes due to conflict took part in activities, learned new skills, and made new friends.

I was humbled to join Min. @Gerry_Byrne and @ANC_of_NL to officially welcome 157 Afghani newcomers to Newfoundland and Labrador, surrounded by just a fraction of the donations our community provided. Our province’s generosity is a source of pride.
We’re honoured you’re here.
We are deeply grateful to IBEW 1620, representing Electrical Workers throughout Newfoundland and Labrador!
