Convened by Mohawk College President Ron McKerlie, the Welcoming Communities Task Force has representatives from:

• ArcelorMittal Dofasco


• Columbia International College


• FELLFAB Limited


• Global Hamilton / Hamilton Economic Development Office


• Hamilton Community Foundation


• Hamilton Police Service

• McMaster University


• Mohawk Students’ Association

The task force will meet three more times to share best practices and propose new solutions and partnerships for welcoming the world to Hamilton. Mohawk will host a community summit in October and the task force will release an action plan in early 2016.

Immigration is expected to account for all the future growth of Hamilton’s population and workforce. Mohawk aims to double international student enrollment and encourage more international students to live and work in Hamilton after graduation.

Mohawk announced a $5,000 sponsorship of Global Hamilton Connect events during the task force meeting. A member group of Hamilton HIVE, Global Hamilton Connects welcomes international students and young newcomers to the community.
