Site Thursday: Website and Officials Hope

site thursday: Greater Moncton became a more diverse community last year as the area welcomed about 1,100 immigrants, according to CTV. With the launch of the new website, officials hope to bring that number to more than 2000. The city launched the site Thursday and it's aimed at attracting highly skilled newcomers to fill vacant jobs. The website is part of the greater Moncton immigration strategy. The website will also help direct newly landed immigrants to the services they need and help answer some questions for them. A lot of immigrants that are moving here are very high skilled and we really look at what are the skill sets that are needed on the ground and how can we connect people to those jobs when they arrive, said Angelique Reddy-Kalala, an immigration strategy officer with the city of Moncton.
