Welcome To The Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre

"The Multicultural Centre exists for the purpose of fostering the diversity which exists in this community and of facilitating the full participation of all residents in the life of the community."

The KW Multicultural Centre has been serving the community for 40 years. We offer many services, programs and support to new Canadians. We offer assistance with your job search, interpretation and translation services, assistance with your settlement needs, and counselling. Our staff can also help you with filling out government forms, Permanent Residence cards and meeting other documentation needs.

Our famous Kitchener Waterloo Multicultural Festival takes place every year at Victoria Park. Visit the Multicultural Festival section to learn more.

Volunteers are an important component of our success. Become a volunteer.
