Huron County, Ontario – The Huron County Immigration Partnership is excited to launch the I Am Huron campaign. This initiative celebrates the positive impact immigrants make in Huron County and highlights their contributions to the community. Submissions are now open to nominate immigrants who have made a difference through their work, creativity, and involvement in the community.
“The I Am Huron campaign aims to recognize and celebrate the ways that newcomers enrich our culture in a meaningful way. We want to showcase individuals who have made a positive impact on communities in Huron County,” explains Pam Somers, co-chair of Huron County’s Immigration Partnership.
Nominations are open until April 30, 2025. A subcommittee will review nominations based on contributions to the community, business and economic impact, and cultural or artistic contributions. The selected nominees will be featured as part of the I Am Huron campaign and highlighted in local print publications, social media, and at a special celebration event.
“The campaign seeks to shine a positive light on their stories, foster connections, and encourage mutual understanding,” Somers explained.
