As a volunteer-run organization for the past 20 years, we have always made it our mission to connect the Canadian community in the Bay Area and, in recent years, to promote social impact. Our twelve-person DML Board and Executive are engaged in a compassionate conversation about how we can help individually, and collectively – to help begin those difficult conversations with open and honest discussions as a community. We are open to ideas our DML community may have and encourage you to reach out to us by email.

We are moving forward with our plans for celebrating Canada Day with you. We hope that you will find comfort in this shared Canadian community – a community that is always growing. We have room. We have heart. Again, we are listening.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us all to adapt to new norms in the workplace, but it is in times of adversity that we learn to forge new paths. Canada’s Consuls General in San Francisco, Atlanta, and New York have recently offered their perspectives on how things have changed.

Rana Sarkar, Consul General of Canada in San Francisco: Technology in the Time of COVID

Nadia Theodore, Consul General of Canada in Atlanta: Postcard from Canada in Atlanta

Last month, over 100 folks joined our first virtual Chesterfield Chat on Immigration questions for Canadians in the US during the pandemic.

Special thanks to all our panelists. We had hoped to share a recorded version of the webinar, but instead one of our panelists, Ting Ni from immipartner was able to summarize some key points – mostly still relevant.
