Moose Jaw Multicultural Council

What Moose Jaw Multicultural Council does

The Moose Jaw Multicultural Council (MJMC) is a non-profit charitable organization founded in 1974 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, providing settlement, language, employment, and community integration services to newcomers to Canada. The organization serves permanent residents, government-assisted refugees, and certain temporary residents through a comprehensive suite of free programs: Settlement Services (needs assessments, referrals, orientation, case management, and Resettlement Assistance Program support), Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) at CLB levels 1-6, Settlement Workers in Schools (SWIS), Career and Employment Preparation, Community Connections, Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), culturally sensitive daycare, the Newcomer Welcome Centre, and a Volunteer Interpreters and Translators Program. MJMC is one of 11 designated Regional Newcomer Gateways in Saskatchewan, with its Newcomer Welcome Centre serving as a first-stop information and referral hub.

MJMC's service delivery model is human-centered, with no proprietary technology platforms — services rely on staff expertise, a volunteer network (66 volunteers contributed 451.5 hours in one year), and an extensive ecosystem of community and government partnerships. The organization operates from multiple physical locations in Moose Jaw and acts as a key partner in the Prairie Skies Integration Network, a Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) initiative coordinating collective newcomer integration across the region. Service delivery combines in-person office-based support, school-based SWIS engagement, employer partnerships for employment services, and community engagement through events, volunteer programs, and cultural member groups.

The organization's revenue model is dominated by government grants and contribution agreements, with primary funding from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and three Saskatchewan provincial ministries (Immigration and Career Training, Education, and Social Services). Secondary funding flows from foundation and corporate sponsors — including the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation Moffatt Fund, Community Initiatives Fund, RBC Foundation, SaskCulture, and Canada Summer Jobs — as well as individual donations. MJMC is overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors and led by Executive Director Jaella Wiebe, with no identified venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment ownership.
