“We want to thank the team at Ethnicity Catering for a job well done at Pembina

Pipeline Corporation’s recent United Way fundraising event.

We selected your services because you are a United Way recommended company and

the reasons for that are obvious: the delivery team was punctual and even the chef

himself was there to ensure we were pleased with the food selections and that the

display of the food was to our liking; the food provided was very well received and the

clean-up crew was prompt and very helpful at the end of the evening.

We would recommend Ethnicity Catering without hesitation. Thank you for helping to

make our fundraising event a great success!”

We are very happy to

recommend, and support,

Ethnicity Catering.

We have had the pleasure of

calling on Ethnicity Catering for

several years, for a number of

our events. We have unfailingly

been very satisfied, both with

the excellent quality of the

food, and the superior service

received. Whenever our

members learn that an event is

catered by “Ethnicity”, a genuine

smile appears, or exclamations

of delight are heard.

Thank you very much, Ethnicity

Catering, for making our events

truly special.

The secret to getting ahead, is getting started

“We just wanted to say a huge

THANK YOU. We had amazing

feedback from the guests who loved

the food, many of whom who had

never eaten curry or had couscous, or

really most of the food. People

LOVED everything!”

A new beginning...

Mariam* came to Canada as a refugee from Africa. She was feeling defeated and

hopeless during her first years in Canada. After her husband’s violent and abusive

behaviour in Africa, her stay at her married daughter’s house in Canada proved

equally abusive. She managed to find help at a local women’s shelter, through

which she connected with the Centre for Newcomers.

With encouragement from the Centre’ staff, Mariam learned new confidence. She

attended the Centre’s settlement and employment workshops and got connected

through EthniCity Catering, a training program at the Centre that gave her

transitional employment and commercial kitchen training. She applied for a job,

and on her last day with EthniCity Catering she accepted an offer for a full-time

position at a local grocery.

Mariam has now moved out of the shelter and is renting her own place. She

continues to work full-time while taking part-time English classes. Mariam is

developing a sense of belonging and recently applied to sponsor her remaining

children in Africa to immigrate to Canada and has great hope that they will be

able to join her soon. (*Not her real name)

The simple task of sharing a meal—’breaking bread’

— has long provided a means of connecting with

family, friends and neighbours.

Savouring the food, and embracing the company,

sharing time and swapping stories — for centuries,

food has connected people and influenced

traditions.

Founded in 1997 as Collective Kitchen, a women’s

peer support group in a church basement, our

enterprise has grown into a full commercial kitchen

offering a transitional training program for

immigrant men and women new to Canada.

For some of our participants this program is a life-

changing experience introducing them to their first

job, their first pay cheque, new independence, self-

confidence and a future of possibilities.

The Centre for Newcomers gratefully acknowledges

the financial support from Citizenship and

Immigration Canada and the United Way of Calgary

and Area, as well as our many loyal customers.

Let EthniCity Catering
