The Regional District of Central Okanagan’s Economic Development Commission (COEDC) has launched their Connector Program this week. 

This program is a formalized community integration program that connects newcomers, spouses and partners as well recent graduates with highly networked individuals, so they can connect to our workforce and settle successfully in the community. 

This was an award-winning program in Halifax, so it will be great to it in action here where we need these newcomers.
