Join us Monday, September 15th

Archway is hosting a welcome ceremony to celebrate the many families that have come from all over the globe to call Abbotsford home in recent years. 

This special event features a community service fair, greetings from local officials, a keynote speech from community leader Andriy Zolotaryov, who brings his experience resettling from Ukraine and supporting displaced communities across the Fraser Valley through faith-based and humanitarian work.

About Welcome Week

Welcome Week is an annual campaign and celebration to showcase the movement of communities striving to be more welcoming places for all, including immigrants.
