Highlight Communication is really pleased to be connecting with Metro Vancouver residents about a Filipino Cultural Centre. What a great idea! Thanks to Sammie Jo Rumbaua for sharing the survey and getting the word out on Facebook. We want to hear lots of voices so please do participate.

I had a Dream...... that Vancouver, BC actually got a FILIPINO COMMUNITY CENTRE! And I know its what A LOT of us have been talking and organizing about. And our elders have attempted and fundraised for in the past, which may have caused the community to lose hope. But what if.....?? Here is your chance to put some input.

The survey is being conducted by Highlight Communication , a Diversity & Inclusion Content Strategy organization, which assures us that the survey is purely for information purposes and participants will not be advertised to or contacted afterwards unless they registered to join the focused group discussion.

The members of the Filipino-Canadian community in Metro Vancouver are invited to participate in a survey on the creation of a Filipino Cultural Centre in Vancouver. The aim of the survey is to get a sense of your interest in a Centre, what it should look like, and what it should be able to offer in terms of facilities and services.

If anyone else has any questions or concerns about this survey, please contact [email protected]

The survey only takes 5-7 minutes to answer and ends on 14 February.

PS- you don't have to be FILIPINO to to complete the survey! Everyone is welcome to put thier input.

PLEASE SHARE!

PPS- A side from this survey, there is a small group of us who have been meeting and strategizing for a Filipino Community Centre and other Filipino Programming in the City of Vancouver-- if you would like to be invloved please DM me directly.

Highlight Communication's newest Belonging Vignette is available as we leave Canada Day 2018 in the rearview mirror. This quickie profile stems from an interview with a refugee integrating into Metro Vancouver. His work has given him a sense of belonging that features in successful settlement. Read the short posting here:

Amir Toma has lived in Canada for more than 2 years but didn’t get a strong sense of belonging until he got settled into work that used his professional skills. Toma (not his real name) works…
