The Muskoka Multicultural Association is a project of the Muskoka Community Co-operatives Inc., a local non-profit organization serving the needs of Muskoka.
MMA is committed to supporting local immigrants and visible minorities, especially newcomers, who wish to work together with those from different cultural, ethnic and/or religious backgrounds to share their and their family’s current needs and future desires.
Muskoka is rapidly growing. With the out-migration of youth and the influx of young retirees, the need for trained labour and professionals will significantly increase. We expect most will come from large urban areas such as Toronto as well as directly from other countries.
Therefore, this is the time to develop a long-term retention plan for those newcomers who are currently here and to examine strategies to meet future labour market requirements.
