🎯 CICS Highlights: York Region Newcomer Youth Dodgeball Tournament—Where Community and Fun Collide!

At CICS, we’re all about fostering belonging—and today’s York Region Newcomer Youth Dodgeball Tournament was a perfect example! 🎉

Held at Bill Crothers Secondary School, this event wasn’t just about dodgeball—though the games were intense! It was about:

• 🌍 Welcoming newcomer youth into a supportive community.

• 🤝 Connecting families to essential resources through our info fair.

• 😊 Creating memories, friendships, and a sense of home in York Region.

A huge thank-you to our partners (CCSYR, York Region, Hong F**k, and more), volunteers, and every young person who brought their A-game. This is what community looks like—vibrant, inclusive, and full of energy!

We can’t wait to bring more events like this to life. Here’s to empowering newcomer youth and building a stronger York Region, together. 💙

York Region First Responders Week at Welcome Centre Markham South? Chef’s kiss—total action, total heart!

We got up close with the best: cops who’ve got our backs, firefighters who run toward the heat, paramedics who turn panic into calm. And let’s talk about what’s under those uniforms—kindness that feels like a hug, courage that gives you chills.

To every hero keeping us safe: THANK YOU. This community’s warmth? It’s all because of you. Let’s keep leaning in, looking out, and building something even safer (and cozier) together. 💙🚒🚑
