Welcoming Community Principles:

• A welcoming community not only tolerates but it encourages & promotes the active participation of all residents in the social , cultural and economic life of the region, providing no room for discrimination.
• A welcoming community creates opportunities to explore differences in a safe and positive environment.
• Being a welcoming community is not a “one man’s/woman’s”, or a “one agency’s” job. Every community member/agency has a role to play.
