We're a settlement agency
The North Bay & District Multicultural Centre is a non-profit organization serving the settlement needs of newcomers to Canada in the districts of Parry Sound, Nipissing, Temiskaming, and Cochrane. The northern region is covered by our satellite office, the Timmins & District Multicultural Centre.

Local Immigration Partnerships (LIPs) are community-wide, multi-sectoral partnerships working to strengthen a community’s capacity to welcome newcomers and improve integration outcomes through enhanced economic, social, political and civic participation. There are 77 LIP initiatives across Canada, they are funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

North Bay office opens in 2008
The North Bay & District Multicultural Centre evolved from the work of the North Bay Newcomer Network, spearheaded by the Mayor's Office of Economic Development. It became a reality January 1, 2008 and is a reflection of the changing face of the city. The official opening of the centre was February 22, 2008.
