Our magazine is how many people know us—but it is just one of our programming areas! We provide practicum, mentorship, and internship opportunities for newcomer and BPOC-identifying creatives and communications professionals and emerging professionals; we host community dialogues and major events; we deliver language and literacy programs; and we undertake special storytelling and documentary projects! We are collaborators at heart and have incredible partners and supporters who share our vision.
More than a magazine
Everything we do is by, with, and for the communities we reflect, represent, and serve..
Specifically, REP Here in Canada works in a “beyond settlement” space to enable newcomers and those with historical and/or current barriers to equity to access opportunities for full and meaningful social, civic, and economic participation.
We develop and deliver community-based programming and events that foster relationships, develop skills, provide work experience, and create accessible, safe, and supported spaces for newcomers to connect with employers, mentors, community leaders, and the wider community.
Our multimedia platforms amplify the stories, experiences, and assets of newcomers, immigrants, and members of underrepresented communities while growing cultural awareness and countering bias and misinformation.

ABOUT US
Learn More
The REP Here in Canada team respectfully acknowledges that our work takes place on the unceded traditional lands of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ Nations. We express gratitude for their ongoing stewardship of these lands, air, and waterways and hold deep respect for the language, traditions, and cultural practices of all Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island.
In our continued effort to Indigenize our work and to meaningfully contribute to decolonization, we are committed to helping amplify Indigenous experiences and stories as we continue our own journey of learning and unlearning.
