Back to SearchSarnia, ON - The Sarnia-Lambton Local Immigration Partnership (SLLIP) is launching the #AllAreWelcomeHere campaign, aimed at promoting diversity and addressing issues of racial, religious and ethnic prejudice and discrimination in our community. Beginning May 26, 2021, Lambton County residents will begin seeing #AllAreWelcomeHere lawn signs across the county.
“Lambton County has served as a safe and welcoming home to new residents and visitors alike for over a hundred years. It is our vision to create an environment where people from all over the world feel as safe and welcome here as generations before them,” says SLLIP Project Coordinator Stephanie Ferrera.
SLLIP, along with over 30 community partner organizations, expects the #AllAreWelcomeHere campaign will promote respectful co‐existence, inclusion, and change the conversation around racial, religious and ethnic prejudice and discrimination in our community. The #AllAreWelcomeHere signs are the first phase of a larger 1000 Acts of Welcome Campaign to be launched on social media in the Fall of 2021.
The #AllAreWelcomeHere campaign was first created in 2017 by the London & Middlesex Local Immigration Partnership. The local campaign kicks off in Lambton County on Wednesday, May 26 with an online launch event, where local community leaders will be celebrating the #AllAreWelcomeHere campaign and discussing how to participate. All residents and local business owners are encouraged to participate in the campaign. Order your free lawn sign by contacting one of the following organizations:
